National Engineering Month (NEM) is Canada’s annual celebration of engineering — a chance to showcase the profession and engage the next generation of engineers, including kids and youth (K-12).
The official kick off event for National Engineering Month took place on March 3, Sharing Your Story to Inspire Kids to Explore Engineering. The webinar focused on how to share your own engineering journey in ways that connect with kids (K-12) and spark their curiosity about the “E” in STEM. Subject matter experts shared their insights on what works when engaging youth, details on relevant initiatives underway including Explore Engineering and the Forward Engineering Collective, telling your story in a compelling, age-appropriate way that resonates with diverse students, and more.
We hope this webinar provided information to help you or your organization bring engineering to life for kids, with tools, examples, and a roadmap to get started.
