1 Experience Say Yes to Engineering: Overcoming Six Common Fears with Christine Cunningham PostedMay 17, 2018 UpdatedNovember 12, 2018 Posted byChristine Cunningham https://youtu.be/DX4Pa_g4PH4 Do you like the idea of including engineering education in the classroom but are overwhelmed by perceived obstacles? Christine Cunningham has worked with hundreds of elementary and middle school educators to develop strategies to overcome those hurdles. Join us to learn how to find the time, prepare materials, and manage student expectations while getting tips on how to handle a diverse array of ideas, grade effectively and make sure that no one gets left behind. Joining her is Nancy Yocom de Romero, a middle school educator, who was one of the first teacher collaborators with Engineering is Elementary. Read More Q&A0

Christine M. Cunningham , Museum of Science submitted an answer on "I'm looking for good research on the benefits of engineering education at the elementary/middle levels." Posted Monday, March 21, 2016 at 3:40 PM Hi Lisa, Research on engineering education with these sorts of documented findings is still in its infancy. Here are a few more resources I would suggest: Engineering in Pre-College Settings (2014) Purzer, Strobel, and Cardella (Eds.) Schauble, Klopfer, and Raghavan (1991) Students' transition from engineering model to a science model of experimentation Klodner J.L, Camp, P.J. et al (2003)...

Schauble, Klopfer, and Raghavan (1991) Students' transition from engineering model to a science model of experimentation Klodner J.L, Camp, P.J. et al (2003) Problem-based learning meets case-based reasoning in the middle-school science classroom Silk, E. M., Schunn, C. D., Cary, M. S. (2009). The impact of an engineering design curriculum on science reasoning in an urban setting. We also have a compilation of research that my team and other researchers have done on our elementary engineering curriculum.
