STEM partnerships support teachers andschools through the provision of equipment and curriculum. Student responses to the e-dragster project support thatpartnership-provided instructions and materials, along with an opportunity for collaboration with peers were themost helpful resources during experience.

More to thepoint, our teachers have to learn enough engineering science so that they start to see how Page 12.1354.3engineering has a significant impact on peoples lives, how it is driven by a strong knowledge ofmathematics and science, and how this knowledge base can easily strengthen all of the“traditional” lessons typically used by teachers in other elementary schools in our district.IntroductionWith this background in mind, how do you get elementary school teachers to teach their studentsengineering concepts
encourage students to pursue STEM pathways. This conclusion is one of thefirst steps in overcoming a national dilemma. However, it is important to keep in mind programscreated for middle school students should not only be exciting but also meaningful where thestudents learn the core STEM concepts. It is the meaningful experience, not the “fun”experience, that keeps students engaged with STEM later in life2.Incorporating engineering in the K-12 classroom has been found to provide students withmeaningful applications and connections to content which students might not have otherwisemade. Engineering exposure at the middle grades can build critical thinking and problem solvingskills, and it can also help students connect to ideas that they would

Do we visit during science and mathematics classes, or have aschool assembly or invite parents for a career night discussion? Most high schools do nothave the

The largest benefits tothis group derive not necessarily from practicing hard skills, but being surrounded by like-minded peers who support their classwork and share similar interests. The second group ofstudents who use the space for specific tasks make up the majority of the engineering andpersonal projects that move through the space, and are notably less communicative than thesocial students.
