Tomorrow’s science and technology challenges loom large for today’s children. Climate, energy, and health care are but a few of the areas where our children face issues that will affect their future. Their success in addressing these challenges will require all the scientific and technological literacy that our schools can provide.
Hands-on activities are critical tools in helping children obtain the necessary skills in science, technology, math and engineering. According to EMU College of Technology Professor John Dugger, “From making, testing and improving paper airplanes, to designing devices to solve problems, to programming robots, exciting hands-on experiences will be the launching pads for our next generation of scientists, engineers, physicians, and technologists in many fields.”
