Intro to Engineering, Electronics, and Coding Using Arduino
On-line via Webex
If you are attending the Virginia Technology and Engineering Education Association conference in Williamsburg, join us for a one-hour class on building and coding a temperature and humidity sensor for Arduino. We will also show how to connect the project to Excel to collect data in real-time.
Stop by our booth at the EAA's Teacher Workshop or take our one-hour class on making a temperature and humidity sensor for Arduino.
Take a book and your kit home as a thank you for your attendance in our class.
Stop by and see us at Summerfest at this free event for families
Failure is a fundamental aspect of STEM learning, particularly in engineering-based projects. When students engage in designing, building, and testing prototypes, they inevitably encounter setbacks. However, how educators frame these experiences can determine whether students become resilient problem-solvers or discouraged learners. A shift from viewing failure as a negative outcome to seeing it as a learning opportunity is essential in preparing students for real-world STEM challenges.
In recent years, phrases like "fail fast" and "fail forward" have permeated the business world, particularly within startups and the tech industry. The idea is that failure is not only inevitable but necessary for innovation and long-term success. Yet, as we discussed in our previous blog post, failure—especially when framed improperly—can be discouraging for students. So how do we take the best aspects of this philosophy and apply them to education without alienating learners?
