In this service-learning technical elective, students use engineering as a vehicle for the advancement of K-12 math and science. Students teach hands-on engineering in elementary or middle school classrooms, develop a lesson for the TeachEngineering digital library and explore relevant literature.
In this course, upperclass engineering students:
Teach engineering in Boulder Valley elementary school classrooms during the semester.
Learn and teach hands-on engineering lessons and activities --- topics such as the laws of motion; energy; rockets; environmental and earth sciences; simple machines; and electricity and magnetism.
Create a new engineering lesson with fun, hands-on activities.
Serve as engineer role models for youngsters and teachers.
