We're delighted to be a part of this research, which will use #YouthEngineeringSolutions instructional materials (#classroom #engineering lessons). #STEM #equity

[IES Research @IESResearch]

Congrats to Kirsten Daehler who received an #IESfunded #NCER award to develop a professional learning model for emergent language learners in grades 3–5 that creates opportunities to learn engineering in ways that honor culture and experiences https://t.co/uY0Pq0JCkQ

[Christine Cunningham @CunninghamCM]

This is worth a read: Metanalysis of 263 research studies of k-12 #engineering education found "engaging youth in engineering challenges relevant to their communities" is a highly engaging strategy. https://t.co/6uPSoJyg7Z @nsta #nsta

#YouthEngineeringSolutions is happy to support #SpendaSummerDay at #PennState." High school students used YES instructional materials to engineer "stomp rockets" as part of this program! More sessions July 28, July 29, Aug. 1: https://t.co/lsJDp7TSxQ. @PSU_CollegeOfEd

Please share: There’s still time to apply to field test our NEW #YouthEngineeringSolutions instructional materials. Seeking #MiddleSchool #STEM and #science teachers. Teach one unit this fall; honorarium provided. More info: https://t.co/eV0jAfuFqv

[Christine Cunningham @CunninghamCM]

Thx for the soapbox! The July 2022 issue of "Open Access Government" includes my editorial about the positive impacts for #students of authentic classroom #engineering experiences. See page 218: https://t.co/NySHjBFwtt

Enjoyed meeting today @ODU to advise Ed+gineering! This #NSF-funded project integrates #engineering into #elementary #teacherpreparation--a goal that #YouthEngineeringSolutions supports! @edgineering_ODU @PSUEngineering @PSU_CollegeOfEd

[Christine Cunningham @CunninghamCM]

#genderstereotypes about #STEM start early. We believe this can change. We are working for change.

[The Hechinger Report @hechingerreport]

Early in elementary school, many children already believe that boys are more interested than girls in computer science and engineering. That stereotype can impact girls’ willingness to participate in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) ... https://t.co/aXWx5lWret

[Christine Cunningham @CunninghamCM]

Looking forward to this workshop tomorrow 4/20 from @theNAEng. You can still register: https://t.co/XR5NZMAu4R

[Christine Cunningham @CunninghamCM]

This is so true--young children DO think #engineers fix cars! Early exposure to #classroomengineering is critical for #k-18 #students to see themselves as engineers.
