29. Why Do We Teach Engineering in Schools?
April 2, 2021
Show Summary:
What is the narrative being promoted when we are teaching engineering? Are we trying to train kids to be ready for their careers or should the focus be on something else? Tune in to this episode where we discuss this subject and the importance of knowing why we teach (or perhaps even “if we should teach”) engineering in grade school.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this too! Comment below or send us an email.
