Interested in adapting existing engineering activities to better fit the needs of your classroom and grade level? Join The Engineering Place as we demonstrate hands-on engineering activities and lead discussion on how these activities may be adapted for younger (and older) learners. Participants will leave the session with two exciting, open-ended engineering activities ready to bring back to their classroom and guidelines on how to adapt future lessons or activities they may find. This will be a collaborative session where teachers will be asked to share their ideas and strategies and learn not only from the presenters but from each other. Come play, learn, and discover how to inspire the next generation of engineers!
