Crawford, Christina; Obenland, Carrie; Nichol, Carolyn – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2021
Pre-college engineering education has gained traction in U.S. schools over the past twenty years. This growth is evident with engineering emerging as a crosscutting discipline in the Next Generation Science Standards. However, the scarcity of professional development (PD) for K-12 teachers who want to teach engineering and the few PD opportunities…
