K–12 Teacher Training

We offer interactive training sessions (via Zoom or in-person) for K–12 educators who are interested in implementing basic engineering and inventing into their classroom. Teachers will be introduced to the Engineering Design Process through an example problem. Be prepared to contribute to your group, share your ideas, and take notes. By the end of the two-hour training session, the participants will be prepared to implement basic engineering and inventing in their classroom.

If you would like to receive training or would like us to train your entire school or conference, please contact Monica Nudd, monica.nudd@gmail.com.
