I would feel more comfortable teaching an engineering lesson in the future to elementary school because it essentially focuses on the engineering design process. I would love to do so because I would want my students to have fun and potentially have interest in becoming engineers in various fields.

I will definitely integrate engineering and coding in my future classroom, I want my students to have experiences and exposure to anything that will help make them marketable adults, and technology isn’t going away, so not bring coding and engineering into the classroom isn’t preparing students for the world we live in.

Overall, I have appreciated the experience of being able to learn about teaching and have the ability to create something for elementary schoolers to learn from. In the beginning I thought it was just extra work, but I see why it is done now.

By focusing on the practical and fundamental aspects of engineering as opposed to the technical aspects it becomes easier to successfully explain these concepts in a manner that someone unfamiliar with the technical side could grasp.

SO much more confident! I am excited to learn more and become more competent with coding so I can really help prepare my future students to live in a high-tech world.

I think it (Wow Club) should be part of every curriculum. I’ve never seen my son so appreciative of learning.

It helped me examine different points of view for approaching problems.

I will definitely work hard to stay current and familiar with coding and engineering so I can use the tech in my classroom. I came into this project hesitant about learning something that seemed daunting, but it’s not so scary and is actually pretty fun.

I loved the Ed+gineering Project, it changed my view on a lot of things. I was very intrigued at how much the students wanted to know about engineering topics and what they already did know. I think it influenced my perception in a good way and gave me a new look on it.
