K-12 STE[a]M Summit- Tech Your Future: Full Schedule

8:55am CST

Influence Critical Thinking through the Engineering Design Process

Saturday January 25, 2025 8:55am - 10:10am CST

Immerse yourself in an Engineering Challenge and become the engineer! To influence our students from "learning" about science to "doing" science, we must practice and challenge our own critical thinking skills. This session will demonstrate the power of hands-on learning and its implications on knowledge building through real-world phenomena. Participants will gain insight to the Engineering Design Process and develop their understanding of the Scientific and Engineering Practices (SEPs) by becoming the learner. By engaging in this process, students will not only sharpen their problem-solving abilities but also develop the skills necessary for successful careers in the engineering field, where innovation and critical thinking are key to tackling complex challenges.
