Early Childhood Professional Development Workshops

Empower innovation in the classroom

EiE’s hands-on professional development workshops are designed to help educators build the skills they need to foster student-centered, inquiry-based learning while enhancing their knowledge of engineering content. We offer a variety of in-person and online workshops for educators and teacher trainers to ensure that all educators have the opportunity to develop the skills and confidence they need to lead engineering activities, regardless of schedule or budget constraints.
