Introducing the Engineering Design Process for kids can sound like an intimidating concept. As with any other framework applied to education, it’s less important to follow its steps to the letter and more important to adapt the process to your students’ needs. In young learners, it’s a way to nurture problem-solving skills and tap into their innate curiosity about the world around them.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

The value of college is something that people used to pretty much agree on. In 2013, a little over a decade ago, the number of young people who thought a college degree was very important was 74 percent, according to a Gallup poll. By 2019 that had fallen to just 41 percent. So what is happening here? Of course there are many factors, but in this same period of time there have been a growing number of messages in popular culture giving highly skeptical views of college.
