field more attractive for youth just as theyenter the years where science and math get increasingly more complex. PBL Laboratories for Youth and Critical ThinkingSupplementing traditional class-based methods of acquiring the first principles of engineeringbroadens the discipline and attracts new problem solvers. For instance, students compete forcoveted spots at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to learn from the profession’sbest engineering, math, and computer science professors. Popular introductory computer scienceclasses have had students seated outside watching on screens as the classrooms are crowded. Theavailability to access has been a mission of the EDX community, which many parents have usedfor
support instruction in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. A summary of the GROWframework can be found below. 1. Grow Relationships – Relationships represent the foundation upon which an inclusive classroom climate sits. Such relationships include both faculty-student and student-student interactions. Additionally, relationships are drastically affected by the expectations that are communicated and modeled throughout the course. Thus, the first principle is aimed at establishing a “learner- centered” classroom climate by promoting meaningful positive relationships. a.
