"I have been using Engineering is Elementary since 2007 and have seen how student engagement increases when using well designed engineering units. In the last year I have focused on kindergarten and grade one students. When I say primary students are engineering solutions I frequently hear, "Those students can't do that!" Never underestimate the brainpower and determination of a 6 year old!"
