When students hear biomedical studies, they tend to focus on the word “medical,” leading them to think about becoming a doctor or nurse. But the field is much broader than that, including EMTs, phlebotomists, EKG techs, researchers, and more. These are in-demand, fruitful careers, and schools with a strong biomedical program can lead their students on to success.

Even with the NGSS’s emphasis on engineering, there’s still a feeling that in preschool and kindergarten, teachers shouldn’t place as much emphasis on the E in STEM. While four-year-olds can’t compete with even third graders in engineering, they can learn and benefit from modified lessons. Nia Keith, Director of Professional Development for EiE, Museum of Science, Boston, gave attendees insights into engineering in early education in the edWebinar, “STEM in Early Education: Empowering Problem-Solving.”
In this edWebinar, Carol Mueller explores the four stages of how real engineers work and offer practical tips to incorporate them in the science classroom.
In this edWebinar, Nia Keith discusses research, tips and strategies for how engineering helps children develop important 21st century skills.
