Introductory Workshop 

This full-day, learner-driven workshop introduces you to the concepts of engineering and computer science and prepares you to facilitate YES and EiE units with your students. You will experience a full unit as a learner, then reflect on curriculum structure, pedagogy, and instructional strategies from an educator’s perspective. 

You will leave this workshop:

• Prepared to teach any YES and EiE unit with your learners. 
• Familiar with the benefits of engaging learners in engineering practices. 
• Confident that you can implement open-ended engineering and computer science challenges with your learners. 

Teacher Educator Institute 

This 3-day institute prepares you to facilitate YES and EiE professional learning workshops to support teachers in your school, district, or state. You will experience engineering and computer science lessons as a learner, consider pedagogical approaches as an educator, and reflect on facilitation strategies as a workshop facilitator. 

You will leave this workshop:

• Prepared to facilitate immersive, active YES and EiE workshops for teachers. 
• Prepared to educate others about the structure, components, and pedagogy of YES and EiE curricula.
