This archived webinar from Linda Kekelis and Jeri Countryman of Techbridge presented "practical strategies and resources that will help teachers, Girl Scout Leaders and after-school program providers to conduct outreach." The main goal of the Techbridge program is to "encourage girls in technology,...

This video, presented by WGBH, looks at a high school outreach program to get students interested in plastic manufacturing by having them make plastic race cars. The students go through the entire process of design from both technical and hands-on perspectives. This video also serves as an overview...

This learning activity will be helpful for students learning about plastic deformation. Specifically, the exercise looks at plastic deformation in polyethylene, which is found in plastic sheets, bags and other common items. Students will participate in plastic deformation of a polymer, observe "...

This 6-page paper, written by Jing Feng, Ian Spence, and Jay Pratt, discusses gender differences in spatial cognition. Two spatial reasoning experiments are described in the paper. The research team "found that playing an action video game can virtually eliminate this gender difference in spatial...
