Massachusetts Engineering Innovation and Dissemination Community ( MEIDC)
Education researchers, practitioners, industry representatives, and policymakers are increasingly committed to making engineering education accessible to all K-12 students and teachers. This project is designed to learn what type of collaborative infrastructure would best support NSF awardees in engaging in the innovative, synergistic research, development, and dissemination activities that will enable engineering to fulfill this important role in K-12 teaching and learning.

Questions:

What are the most compelling opportunities in K-12 engineering education that should be acknowledged, particularly in Massachusetts?

What are the challenges around K-12 engineering education that you think need to be addressed in Massachusetts?

What are the key organizations and individuals involved in advancing engineering education in MA?  Have you worked with them?  When and how?  What were the outcomes of that work?

How can we achieve more equity in access to educational resources and opportunities?
