Each of the 20 EiE units comes with lessons, student handouts, teacher background information, assessments, rubrics, and a storybook featuring a child character who is challenged to " engineer " a solution to a problem in their community-around the world. This 2-day workshop will help teachers integrate engineering, technology, the engineering design process, and other engineering topics into the teaching of core subject areas: science, math, social studies, and language arts. For more information about EiE, please visit www.mos.org/eie. Cost: $60 includes lunch both days, and each participant may select ONE EiE teacher curriculum & storybook ($40 value). Workshop fee covered for teachers from school districts in the CCISD Credit Options: 1.0 SB-CEU @ no cost, or 1.0 NMU credit (approval pending), or 1.0 MTU graduate credit @ $214 (A departmental stipend reduces official MTU tuition of $345 per credit for teacher professional development). Credit registration onsite. Engineering is Elementary (EiE) is a new research-based series of 20 curriculum units for grades 1-5 developed by the Boston Museum of Science. EiE introduces elementary students to engineering and technology concepts and skills. EiE activities include real-world problem-solving such as designing bridges, windmills, water filters, plant pollinators, alarm circuits, erosion control, solar-powered homes, dams, prosthetics, and more. EiE lessons engage students in engineering design challenges while meeting state content expectations for core subjects.
