SciEd folks!
Nodding along as we read this @NSTA article by Cary Sneider & Mihir Ravel. "A consistent finding in our data was the value of #hands-on #engineering activities" bit.ly/3PB3buM
Sneak preview! Our YES #classroomengineering lessons with an aerospace theme are still in development, but PA high school students got to test-launch their "stomp rockets" this week as part of the @PSU_CollegeOfEd "Spend a Summer Day" program. #StemEducation
