🇩🇰 Hej danske lærere! Tjek disse nye aktiviteter til de nye @LEGOEducation Science-sæt! 👉 engineeringwithbricks.com/playlist/danis…

Our Outreach Learning Fellows have recently started doing Novel Engineering lessons at the Benjamin Banneker Charter Public School. Read more about this exciting collaboration: loom.ly/6-HzuNI

Building a better claw machine in @tinkercad using the jaws of a mole rat in our biomimicry unit. I also think I finally understand motors @tuftsceeo @tercstemed

Congratulations to CEEO Fellow Chris Swan, who has been elected to the Engineers Without Borders-USA Faculty Leadership Council! Read more: bit.ly/4pDnFoQ

We are excited to share our first engineering activities for the @LEGO_Education Science kits! engineeringwithbricks.com/playlist/engin…

Congratulations to the ConnecTions research team, led by Kristen Wendell and Chelsea Andrews, on their new publication in the Journal of Engineering Education, "Recognizing mechanistic reasoning in elementary students' engineering design discourse!" 👉 doi.org/10.1002/jee.70…

Tufts had SO many papers at the 2025 American Society for Engineering Education Conference & Exposition! Look at this list! 👉 loom.ly/XwQA458 #TBT @ASEE_DC

Read about the storm drain activity developed as part of the Design Talks and Community Tech Press research projects led by Chelsea Andrews, Kristen Wendell, and Greses Pérez: sites.tufts.edu/ceeoblog/2025/… @gresesperez

A friend has kindly translated our LEGO Education SPIKE Essential activity placemats into Danish! engineeringwithbricks.com/playlist/danis… @LEGO_Education #SPIKEEssential

Congratulations to the Tufts IRLI team - former post-doc Lorena Grundy and Milo Koretsky - on their publication in JEE! “More conceptual than actual”: Epistemic metacognition in response to a non-numerical statics question. 👉 doi.org/10.1002/jee.70… @JEE_Editors @LorenaGrundy

@GresesPerez co-authored a new study in Science & Education, finding that college STEM classes fail to reflect the true diversity of working scientists. STEM disciplines are more diverse than undergraduate courses depict. doi.org/10.1007/s11191…

Thank you for all the likes and follows last year! Here are your favorites from 2025.

This summer, we are excited to bring back our middle school engineering workshop! Stay tuned for more information! sites.tufts.edu/ceeoworkshops/

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays from Tufts CEEO! We are celebrating the new year with our favorite educational technology!

Thanks to Somerville Public Schools for inviting us to Family Creative Computing and Robotics Night! We had a blast building LEGO Education SPIKE Prime snow plows just in time for Boston's first snow of the season! @svilleschools @LEGO_Eduation

On December 4th and 5th, Elissa Milto presented a two-day Novel Engineering professional development workshop at the Massachusetts Department of Education’s Annual 21st Century Community Learning Centers Winter Institute. @MASchoolsK12

The students in Milan Dahal's Introductory Robotics and Mechantronics course were excited about the World Cup coming to America, so they built soccer-playing bots for their final project! @TuftsMechEng

The first-year engineering students in Merredith Portsmore's Simple Robotics class designed robotic toys for their final projects, and the kids from the Eliot-Pearson Children's School came by to test them! @TuftsEngineer
