Are you looking for innovative ways to engage your students in engineering? Wondering how to integrate socio-emotional skills and STEM learning? Join researchers, engineers and educators from the New York Hall of Science, Tech Interactive and Amazeum as we explore engineering activities developed through a three-year National Science Foundation funded research project. Learn how subtle hints of narrative like characters and settings can evoke students’ empathy and make engineering activities more engaging and inclusive. This workshop includes opportunities to do hands-on narrative-based activities, practice observing empathy and its impact on engineering practices, and prototype your own narrative-based engineering activity. Discover concrete strategies for reframing engineering activities in ways that invite students to help others with their designs.
Thanks to the generous support from the Walmart Foundation, this workshop includes the following:
