It helped me examine different points of view for approaching problems.

I would feel more comfortable teaching an engineering lesson in the future to elementary school because it essentially focuses on the engineering design process. I would love to do so because I would want my students to have fun and potentially have interest in becoming engineers in various fields.

Having gone in with no experience with coding or engineering, but a great interest in it, I think it was really wonderful. It made it more approachable, and it broke it down in its components so that I could understand it. Yeah, I really enjoyed getting to know the engineering process and how it works.

I will definitely integrate engineering and coding in my future classroom, I want my students to have experiences and exposure to anything that will help make them marketable adults, and technology isn’t going away, so not bring coding and engineering into the classroom isn’t preparing students for the world we live in.

I will definitely work hard to stay current and familiar with coding and engineering so I can use the tech in my classroom. I came into this project hesitant about learning something that seemed daunting, but it’s not so scary and is actually pretty fun.

I think it (Wow Club) should be part of every curriculum. I’ve never seen my son so appreciative of learning.

By focusing on the practical and fundamental aspects of engineering as opposed to the technical aspects it becomes easier to successfully explain these concepts in a manner that someone unfamiliar with the technical side could grasp.

Overall, I have appreciated the experience of being able to learn about teaching and have the ability to create something for elementary schoolers to learn from. In the beginning I thought it was just extra work, but I see why it is done now.

SO much more confident! I am excited to learn more and become more competent with coding so I can really help prepare my future students to live in a high-tech world.
