🌐 Title: K-12 STRIDE Transportation Curriculum – Transportation Engineering & Design Activities
🎤 Presenter: Dr. Dimitra Michalaka, Ph.D., PE, The Citadel
📝 Abstract: The transportation landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by technological advancements, environmental considerations, and societal needs. How can we prepare K-12 students for the ever-changing world of transportation, and how can we attract young minds into the field of transportation engineering? This webinar covers three different activities developed as part of a transportation engineering curriculum. The activities are designed to be adaptable for a wide range of ages, time periods, and group sizes, including the following: Grades 5th to 12th; 1 to 3 hours; individuals, pairs, and small groups. Students will think outside the box to solve real-life transportation challenges while using the engineering design process. The activities can be used in the classroom and beyond for functions such as:
🏫 afterschool programs
🌞 summer camps
🔬 STEM events
🏡 homeschool programs
🌻 and more!
The webinar is most suited for educators, curriculum designers, and administrators who want to be equipped with hands-on activities ready to be deployed at the K-12 level. We'd like you to please join us for an engaging session discussing K-12 transportation curriculum design activities. Participants will receive a copy of the “Transportation Engineering & Design Activities” booklet prepared as part of this effort. 📚 👩🎓 🚗
