DIVEE
Watch the activity overview video. This video shows staff facilitating the activity featured in the skill video.
As you watch the skill video below, think about these questions:
- How does Lemond make the engineering design process less intimidating for the youth in his program?
- Why is it important to make the engineering design process more accessible to the youth you work with?
- How is Lemond increasing access and equity in STEM by using DIVEE?
Now that you’ve watched the video, reflect on what you saw and post your responses.
- How can you integrate the Arts into your STEM activities?
- What are other ways to increase access and equity in OST STEM programs?
