Session description

Promoting empathy and understanding is more important than ever! Connecting the engineering design process with human-centered practices elevates learning as creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, + communication skills create a positive social impact. Let’s foster an understanding of others, creating more empathetic and socially active young people.

Outline

The session will open with a hands-on activity for empathy-building (about 10 min) followed by a slide presentation to build background on creating for social good (5 min).

We will view/discuss various lesson/project ideas (10 min) followed by the sharing of several children's books that provide opportunities for problem-solving, idea-growing, and hands-on creation.

Participants will engage in an activity connected to one of the children's books (10 min) followed by a think-pair-share about how it might inspire action in their school. Lastly, we will have a quick share out (5 min) and closing.
