Start your school year with energy, creativity, and collaboration! In this interactive webinar, you’ll experience how YES’s engineering units use relatable, real-world problems to help students explore what engineers do and how they think. We’ll explore how this early experience builds confidence, collaboration, and creative thinking in K–8 learners.
We’ll walk through Lesson 1: What is Engineering? from different grade bands, highlighting how these short, powerful kickoff lessons engage learners in the Engineering Design Process from day one. Plus, we’ll do one of the hands-on challenges together — designing a model bench using simple materials. Leave with classroom-ready ideas and inspiration to launch engineering in your classroom this fall!
Please gather the following materials and bring them with you to the webinar:
- 5 sheets of copy paper
- 12 inches of tape (masking or cellophane)
- A pair of scissors
