Managed Projects for Makers Empire Customers

Teachers in a managed term project will:

  • Understand how to use 3D technology to plan, teach and assess Design & Technology and Engineering curriculum for K-8 students.
  • Receive access to a new Challenge Course for the course of the program (one term).
  • Each Challenge Course provides a complete design program for students. Challenge courses are carefully aligned to aligned to CCSS and NGSS standards, centered around a theme and designed to take 4-10 weeks to complete. For example, teachers might have students work through a Challenge Course for one lesson per week over a term. Over that term, students will address all aspects of the Design & Technologies curriculum without needing to do any extra planning.
  • Each Challenge Course contains five different activities: 1) videos; 2) quizzes; 3) pro-training tutorials; 4) design challenges; and 5) offline activities.
