K-5 Children's Engineering

This hands-on interactive course is designed for teachers in grades K-5. Participants will learn to use design, engineering and technology instructional resources to enhance children’s attainment of the Virginia Standards of Learning in science, mathematics, social studies/history and language arts. The course will engage participants in critical thinking and problem solving experiences that contribute to a child’s ability to retain content in the Standards of Learning. Participates will discover how easy it is to integrate Children’s Engineering into the existing curriculum as a strategy for increasing children’s academic success.

Thanks to grant support, the registration fee is covered for participants from Harrisonburg, Page and Rockingham school divisions.
