From the ASEE aggregator. I will have to connect with these people when I begin my own research…

The Dracut (MA) Valley Dispatch (1/12, Feinstein) reported that a program called Exploring the Efficacy of Elementary Engineering (E4 Project) “will gauge the efficacy of different techniques for teaching engineering to” young students, fifth graders. Also, the E4 Project will “evaluate how engineering instruction affects children from groups that are underrepresented in engineering, including girls.” Christine Cunningham, who leads the E4 project, said, “Our preliminary research suggests that very young children really can master engineering concepts and practices -and that they benefit in a number of ways when engineering is part of their classroom experience.”

From the ASEE aggregator:

The Seattle Times (7/1, Long) reports, “On Friday, some of the best gaming and education minds in the area gathered at the Northeastern University-Seattle campus to kick off an ambitious, long-term project to create” a game to keep girls engrossed in math and science. “G.A.M.E.S. — short for Girls Advancing in Math, Engineering and Science — includes participants from Northeastern, the University of Washington’s Center for Game Science, the private DigiPen Institute for game developers, and game companies such as Big Fish and Her Interactive.” The person behind the idea, Tayloe Washburn, dean of Northeastern-Seattle, “thinks a successful game could underscore the advantages of a career in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields for young girls.”
