Live Exploration: Georgia Tech's Invention Studio

Students can explore the world of science and engineering with this collection from DESIGN SQUAD NATION. Use these resources to help your students gain a stronger understanding of the design process and the connection between engineering and the things we use in everyday life. The DESIGN SQUAD NATION Collection equips students with science and math skills, and lays the foundation they need to participate in engineering activities later in life.

Coding is the new literacy! With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) can program their own interactive stories and games. In the process, they learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer.

This science resource collection from PBS’ The Ruff Ruffman Show features teacher's guides, YouTube-inspired videos, digital games, and student activities in English and Spanish starring canine host extraordinaire, Ruff Ruffman. Ruff, along with his trusty assistants Blossom the cat and Chet the mouse, answers questions from kids, takes on challenges, and learns the value of failure—all while modeling science inquiry skills and learning about core science concepts.

In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks to us about the Engineering Process and why we should do things in order, as well as many of the questions we should ask along the way.

NASA's Beginning Engineering, Science and Technology, or BEST, introduces the principles of engineering to young audiences through hands-on, NASA-themed activities that apply the engineering design process (EDP) to solve problems and generate solutions. NASA’s BEST activities may be used individually or as a set, and are aligned to national content standards and frameworks. Content is available on the BEST website in multiple versions suitable for digital and print use – grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8. Activities may be used to supplement curricula in classrooms and out-of-school learning environments.

Engineering for Good is a three-week, project-based learning unit for middle school science classrooms focused on developing solutions for negative impacts of plastics on the environment.

Explore Engineering Is… , a collection of media resources that focuses on the intersection of engineering and science. The new national science education standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, emphasize engineering design as an essential part of science education. With the Engineering Is… collection, middle- and high-school students can learn about scientists and engineers working together across disciplines to investigate issues, make discoveries and develop solutions.

Fast Forward is a video series from GPB that focuses on STEAM, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math concepts in a fun, entertaining, and informative way by demonstrating how employees in businesses and organizations across the state of Georgia are applying the topic matter in their jobs.
