In the first year of the LEGO Foundation Playful Engineering-Based Learning (PEBL) grant, Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO) supported eight outreach organizations to bring playful engineering to almost 6,000 students around the globe. In the United States,…
In 2021, Tufts Center for Education and Outreach (CEEO) piloted the Outreach Learning Fellows (OLFs) Program to work with local children, focusing on organizations with children who may not get the experience to engineer otherwise. This year we are continuing…
Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO) graduate students and faculty attended the 2022 Annual American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Conference this June in Minneapolis, MN. We were excited to have eight conference papers accepted this year. Congratulations…
The Justice-based Engineering and Data science Initiative (JEDI) is an NSF-funded research project focused on adding sociotechnical content and reasoning to a first-year data science course, Introduction to Computing for Engineering (ES-2), and studying the impact. In addition to coding…
As in-person interaction slowly returns to our lives after years of pandemic-induced isolation and virtual meetings, many people are still coming to terms with returning to daily commutes to work. For Alison Earnhart, Tufts CEEO project administrator for the Tech…
