Empowering Engineering in STEM: Hands-On Strategies for K–12

This hands-on workshop explores how to bring engineering to life in K–12 classrooms through engaging, student-centered design challenges. Educational leaders will explore the engineering design process and learn to integrate engineering thinking into instruction that supports creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. Participants will engage in build-and-test activities that model how students can move from concept to solution using digital and physical tools. The session will feature Engino as one example of a resource that supports these strategies, but the focus will remain on designing meaningful engineering experiences that align with STEM goals. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use ideas, implementation strategies, and a clear understanding of how to elevate the “E” in STEM across grade levels, regardless of their available tools.
