Another series of workshops started July 19 at Seattle Public Libraries.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tFamilies were recruited for the workshops to learn about circuitry, robotics and e-textiles &ndash; smart garments with embedded electronics. After the workshops, families take home backpacks with additional activities.

It&rsquo;s funded by a $2.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\t足彩app哪个是正规的 partnership leverages the expertise of all involved, says Carrie Tzou, left, associate professor and director of OpenSTEM Research at University of Washington Bothell. University researchers are studying how families engage with workshops and backpacks, especially how these experiences start young people to think of themselves as engineers or scientists.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tAnother part of the program is professional development for librarians and community educators to help them make engineering education available to a diverse audience. 足彩app哪个是正规的 backpacks are intended to become a community resource in circulation at the libraries, Science Center and Red Eagle Soaring. Part of the study is seeing how well it works, Tzou says.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tResearchers should have something to say about their findings by next summer, she says.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\t足彩app哪个是正规的 project is expected to directly reach 2,500 young people and it could affect thousands more if the backpacks for science model is adopted by other libraries and learning centers.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/carrietzou.jpg\" alt=\"Carrie Tzou\" class=\"wp-image-25963\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sewncircuits.jpg\" alt=\"sewn circuit e-textiles\" class=\"wp-image-25964\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n\tRobotics workshops are being held this summer at the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center and Seattle Public Libraries using the Backpacks for Science Learning project in which University of Washington Bothell is the lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_is_archived":false,"_archived_contact_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[],"school":[418,421],"class_list":["post-2724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-news","school-school-of-educational-studies","school-school-of-stem"],"acf":{"related_links":{"toggle_visibility":false,"link_1":null,"link_2":null,"link_3":null,"link_4":null,"link_5":null},"highlight_box":{"toggle_visibility":false,"title":"","content":"","button":null,"button_style":"angled-purple-button","button_screen_reader_text":""},"contact_type_1":{"toggle_visibility":true,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"contact_type_2":{"toggle_visibility":false,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"social_media":{"toggle_visibility":false,"facebook_url":"","instagram_url":"","linkedin_url":"","twitter_url":"","youtube_url":""},"blog_archive_sidebar_visibility":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
