Student Learning
INSPIRE researchers explore how young children think and learn about engineering in formal and informal learning environments. Their goal is to identify the ways young children make sense of the world as "little engineers" and to generate knowledge for the creation of curricula that will develop ability, knowledge and interest in engineering.
