How is engineering going to change the future for students and educators?
1. Reflect on what you did on your genius hour project this weekThis week I started working on my genius hour project to find relevant research regarding engineering concepts and principles. I found how engineering is used in the present moment at schools, such as elementary, secondary, and post-secondary, as well as how students use it outside of their classrooms. Also, I have started the mind-map to present my final genius hour project using Coggle.
2. Reflect on what you learned about your topic this week
What I learned about my topic, is that there are four sub-categories under engineering. These are: women in engineering, the S.T.E.M. program, student engagement and professional learning community, as well as employability and lifelong learning
3. Explain what you need to do before our next genius hour
For the next genius hour, I have to take all the information I have gathered into my work document and first blog to then organize it by writing it out. I want to make sure to categorize everything to figure out what is the most important sub-topics.
4. Explain any questions you may have and where you might be able to find the answers to them.
Questions that I have include: why is engineering more prominent and male-dominated? What is the STEM program and why is it important for students and teachers, as well as in school systems? Why is engineering important at all? These questions can be answered by following the resources that are cited below.
5. Explain where you go from here
Where do I go from here? I have to make sure that I continue to time manage properly and efficiently for my genius hour project, and to organize the information I have gathered.
