Your candor about your own feelings and lessons learned along the way make the introduction of engineering into classrooms and to young learners seem possible. I especially appreciated hearing about what didn’t go right (at first) like discovering that the initial ideas for designing a classroom space from students wouldn’t all work and that young students need help to learn how to share and use materials before they can design their ideas with them. I hope you will write more about your experiences in the future on LinkEngineering. And, I hope that educators both in school and out of school will be inspired by your work. I know that I will be sharing your blog and work with others.
