Earth Educators' Rendezvous 2023

Earth Educators’ Rendezvous (EER) in July, 2023.  There we spent three morning workshop sessions with educators from around the country focused on how to make use of our DIYnamics Lego-based Hardware Kits in classroom settings.

We adopted a See-Do-Teach approach to the workshop, where participants used days one and two to “see” and “do” with a wide range of interactive activities and discussions including building their DIYnamics Kits. On day 3, everyone used their Kits to explore demos and taught each other their specific demos and the underlying science. At the end of the workshop, all participants packed up their DIYnamics Kits and brought them home where, hopefully!, they put them to use in their classes during the fall semester.

We continue to learn a great deal from our EER workshops. We will be making improvements based on our observations and the survey feedback.
