The abstract is used on the ASEE website, program materials, andotherK-12 Workshop promotional activities.       To invent, to innovate, to create! These are all key aspects of K-12 engineering, yet true       open-ended creativity is a challenge for many teachers. With MaKey MaKey kits and       Scratch programming as a central tools, this workshop promotes the use of technology,       electrical circuits and programming to develop a sense of creativity and design thinking       in kids. In a collaborative effort between the University of Arizona’s Colleges of       Education and Engineering and local school districts, a middle school workshop with       accompanying lesson plans were designed to help teachers develop the skills and ability       necessary to teach innovative engineering and programming inside or outside the       classroom. Through hands-on activities, this workshop aims to improve teacher’s abilityCreative Engineering & Programming with MaKey MaKey invention Kits.docx                 Page 2 of 7                     WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                      Saturday, June 13, 2015                                      8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                   Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WA       to teach creative engineering design with the use of Makey MaKey Kits and computer       programming.Workshop Description. Please provide a detailed description of the proposed workshop that, atminimum, explicitly addresses the following (maximum 4,000 characters):         a. Learning objectives         b. Hands-on activities and interactive exercises         c. Materials that participants can take with them         d. Practical application for teachers and outreach staff       MaKey MaKey Middle School Workshop Learning Objectives       Participants who attend the workshop will:           1. Become familiar with MaKey MaKey invention kits and Scratch programming               software           2. Contemplate the important of developing a sense of creativity and innovation in               K-12 students           3. Learn how to integrate computer programming into K-12 engineering           4. Review the educational materials created for the MaKey MaKey engineering               activities           5. Consider how K-12 engineering curriculum can embed technology that draws on               the interests, prior experience and Funds of Knowledge of the students.       To begin this workshop, participants will be introduced to the MaKey MaKey invention       kits and how the kits can be used as tools to innovate and engineer. After this brief       introduction, participants will use the kits in small groups to complete the hands-on       activity to explore how electricity flows and then manipulate electrical current to create       unique, interactive musical instruments with fruit, metal, water, pencil lead or other       conductive materials. This activity aims to introduce teachers to the components of the       MaKey MaKey kit, how to set it up, and how it interacts with the computer. To conclude       this introductory activity, participants will learn about the various activities and projects       that teachers have done with the kits and how to develop/sequence their own MaKey       MaKey activity.       After this introductory activity, teachers will be introduced to Scratch programming       (http://scratch.mit.edu). During this activity, participants will learn about and complete       some basic programming tasks. Through this interactive learning experience, participants       will develop a basic understanding of Scratch and how it can be infused into the       engineering design process.       Once teachers have a basic understanding of both the MaKey MaKey kits and Scratch       programming, participants will move into a mini “MaKey MaKey Design Challenge.” InCreative Engineering & Programming with MaKey MaKey invention Kits.docx                   Page 3 of 7                     WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                      Saturday, June 13, 2015                                      8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                   Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WA       this activity, small teams of participants will apply their knowledge to begin designing       and creating interactive video games that incorporate the MaKey MaKey kits, conductive       materials, and Scratch programming.       At the conclusion of the workshop, the presenters and participants will engage in a       discussion about the practical challenges involved in promoting unrestricted creativity       and the integration technology, programming and engineering design at the middle school       level. The presenters will also suggest means to overcome these challenges and make       this project a success. Participants will take away hard copies of days activities and be       provided with links online for other digital resources.Authentic Engineering Connection. Identify and describe how you will explicitly address theways in which your lesson or activity is representative of the processes, habits of mind andpractices used by engineers, or is demonstrative of work in specific engineering fields.i At leastone of those must be within the first four listed, below; i.e., do not only check “other”. Check allthat apply:          Use of an engineering design process that has at least one iteration/improvement          Attention to specific engineering habits of mind          Attention to engineering practices (as described in the NGSS/Framework and as          practiced by engineers)          Attention to specific engineering careers or fields related to the lesson/activity          Other (please describe below)Provide a description of how you will explicitly address these aspects of authentic engineering inyour workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):       Design Process       The engineering design process, a central element in K-12 engineering education       (NAE/NRC, 2009, Achieve, 2013), is a key aspect of this workshop. Through the       context of the MaKey MaKey invention kits and Scratch programming, this workshop       helps teachers both understand the engineering design process as well as understanding       how to teach it in the context of the middle school classroom. Teachers will learn to help       kids creatively design an interactive game/book through multiples iterations and within       the constraints and requirements of the project.       Habits of Mind       This workshop focuses on the following engineering habits of mind: creativity,       collaboration and communication (NAE/NRC, 2009). The participants’ creativity will be       tested as they are tasked with a design challenge that is open-ended and has few       restrictions. This creativity is both physical, as they manipulate objects with the MaKeyCreative Engineering & Programming with MaKey MaKey invention Kits.docx                    Page 4 of 7                     WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                      Saturday, June 13, 2015                                      8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.

In order       to complete the MaKey MaKey design challenge, participants will work in small groups       of three or four. Teamwork, communication and collaboration are also essential for this       engineering activity. The importance of teamwork will be addressed in the workshop as       participants work through the design challenge and is specifically addressed in each of       the activities.       Engineering Practices       With the Next Generation Science Standards, engineering practices play an important       role in how engineering is taught at the K-12 level (Achieve, 2013). While all of the       practices are important, this workshop and accompanying class activities focus on       defining problems, designing solutions, engaging in argument from evidence, and       obtaining evaluating and communicating information. The “MaKey MaKey Design       Challenge” requires students to first define the problem/need and then move though the       iterative design process to design the optimal solution for an interactive game/book.       Throughout the design process, students are challenged to communicate and evaluate       evidence in both small groups and as a whole class to work through challenges and       improve their design.Diversity. This year is the American Society for Engineering Education’s “Year of Action onDiversity.” It is essential that we have a diverse engineering workforce to solve diverseproblems. To do that and to have an engineering-literate public, it is essential that we reach everypreK-12 student with high-quality engineering education, drawing on issues of access and equityin the classroom and in the curriculum. Reviewers would like to know how your proposedworkshop will address diversity.Provide a description of how you will explicitly address diversity – e.g., diversity with respect togender/sex, ethnicity or race, special education inclusion, socio-economic status, or LGBT status– in your workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):       If K-12 engineering education is to be as successful as many claim, we must specifically       work to engage and build interest in all students, particularly underrepresented       populations. This workshop aims to engage and establish relevancy with a diverse       middle school population. As the learning goal states above, participants are specifically       exposed to ideas and strategies as well as being engaged in discussion on how to embed       technology that draws on the interests, prior experience and Funds of Knowledge of the       students. Specifically, this workshop provides strategies and resources for first       understanding the community and family knowledge of student and to then using this       knowledge to modify and adapt the activities to build on the students strengths, and meet       their wants and needs (Moll, Amanti, Neff & Gonzalez, 1992).
