Here's the workshop description:
When a paratrooper pulls that rip cord, what’s on his mind? Calculations about acceleration, speed, load capacity, and gravity? Probably not.
To you, these calculations are elementary. But to the elementary student, parachuting is ‘AWESOME’ and the formulas behind it are complicated. How can you bridge that gap?
Make that leap. Pull that educator rip cord within you and share with students your knowledge as an aerospace professional.AIAA will teach you to inspire students about the marvels of aerospace engineering. Share your passion in a manner students can relate to. Register now for the Engineers as Educators Workshop and you’ll walk away armed with the tools to help you plan and execute powerful experiences and excite the next generation of engineers.
Learn how to:
- Connect your work to classroom objectives
- Plan memorable experiences
- Use simple and clear vocabulary
- Engage students with hands-on experiences
