Abstract

Engineering design and scientific inquiry are approaches used by STEM professional in their work as they explore the natural world and invent solutions that transform our lives. These approaches are also ideal for engaging students in STEM learning by providing the conditions that allow them to explore and invent too. In this session we will explore the similarities and differences between inquiry and design. Using a couple of hands-on activities as context we will discuss how design and inquiry can be used to teach a wide range of STEM content.
