Today was our Last field trip of National Engineers Week (but not the last of the year: we still have ~10 field trips left this year. Today, 70 fifth grade students from the Murphy K-8 school came for an engineering design process workshop / field trip, wherein they learned about engineering, thinking like a mechanical […]
Today was the third field trip of National Engineer’s Week! We typically only run field trips (especially virtual ones) for upper elementary and middle school students, but today we had 9th and 10th graders from the Dearborn STEM Academy. The theme of today’s field trip was “Engineering in College.” First, attending students had a STEM/College […]
Today was our second field trip of National Engineer’s Week! 75 x 4th/5th graders from the Tobin K-8 School came to learn about Engineering and the Design Process! Today’s field trip was led by NU students (and Center for STEM Education work studies) Tyree and Hadeel, with additional assistance by NU students Karen and Samantha. […]
Today was our first field trip (of four) of National Engineer’s Week!
