This arrangement was mirrored at the 1 ½ hour mark. Thelaboratory experiment was led by a university-trained undergraduate teaching assistant. Studentswere told that they should try to complete at least one of the experimental exercises, but wereencouraged to attempt as many as possible. Student learning was self-regulated: trying first anddiscovering the results. The tour was led by a trained undergraduate university student tourguide.The Student Laboratory Experience: Results and Feedback from the ParticipantsOf the 15 student participants, 87% started

Enhance teachers’ bioengineering content knowledge and pedagogical skills. 2. Enable teachers to translate laboratory research into practical, NGSS-aligned curricula. 3. Address educational equity by preparing teachers to better support diverse, urban student populations.Adopted in Illinois in 2014 to be in effect by the 2016-17 school year, NGSS required complexcurriculum planning on the part of districts. The framework relates science to students’ everydaylives, ensures students learn about being careful consumers of scientific and technologicalinformation, and prepares them with the skills

In this paper we describe the development aninteractive experience to teach K12 students about prosthetics, medical devices, and soft roboticsby controlling a laboratory-based physical robotic hand via webcam that is reliable in a variety ofcontexts. To evaluate this curriculum, we also present results of a mixed methods approach tocollect quantitative and qualitative data on the tool and students’ perceptions of engineering as aresult of using the tool. Previous research has shown that new materials in soft robots may fosterrobotics interest for a diverse population of students and expand students’ ideas about whatrobots do and how engineering can be used in human
