NEM 2023: Up4 The Challenge – STEM Design Challenge for Educators

"We will provide attendees an opportunity to participate in an interactive Life Centred Design workshop that puts humans and the natural world at the centre of design. We will encourage collaborative and creative problem-solving, connecting solutions to the engineering principles that are needed to implement them. Participants will be challenged to address a specific social issue related to climate change. The event will not only foster empathy, which is a skill needed to help individuals navigate a rapidly changing world, but will also highlight how engineering can solve problems that may not necessarily appear to have a technological solution or be ‘engineering problems’ in nature. Our event will be designed as a 90-minute workshop for up to 40 participants. The session will be led by several experienced facilitators and our participants will be encouraged to contribute to discussions and activities using Google Slides and other interactive online tools.
