Geering up, FuturePLAY and the Vancouver School Board (VSB) are partnering up to provide educators with a pro-d opportunity focused on incorporating engineering design activities in the classroom! In this exciting pro-d, we will be diving into the engineering design cycle and exploring its pedagogy and connections to BC’s ADST curriculum through fun, engaging, and hands-on activities that educators will be able to use in their classrooms to help create the connection between science and society.
