All aspects
Crafts hands on modules, design test and optimize design
Sort it out and critical load
Workshops!
Good approach to technology and engineering
Most of the activities
Teamwork, creative ideas, motivation, event coordination
The job carried out by the volunteers, the workshop itself
A meeting place for teachers, availability and good mood of the volunteers, enjoyable and fun proposal

Good interaction with IEEE
Lot of suggestions and ideas to develop and investigate in a group
Applicable to our courses
Very good organization and willingness of the presenters
Creativity of the modules
It changes the point of view of our activity as teachers
The teamwork itself, the time available for each module was ok
It is very challenging and motivating to solve real problems with common materials, it is a good trigger for further theoretical approach
SuggestionsCoordination with local education authorities on follow up activities
More activities related with electricity or communications
Better time management
Introduce also teachers of lower grades (6-11 years)
Optimize time management
Repeat this kind of workshops more often
More tests and fewer presentations
Select modules according student level
Be more specific with the instructions
More time to perform more activities
I would rather put pulleys and force on the first day
Adapt education standards to IEEE suggestions or merge ideas into official curricula
More time to perform work, less coffebreaks
Environmental issues should be included
More coordination between volunteers
More precise instructions on expected results of modules
Include modules with chemistry
More time to design the proposed activities
More theory
More clear instructions to perform the different modules
Put more than 2 teachers in the groups
More marketing of these activities
Improve the way to transmit the instructions for the modules
More detailed technical discussions about the tasks to be performed
To provide more continuity on this kind of activities in order not to create islands of activities in a sea of opportunities
It is Ok like this
More time is needed
Coordinate with education possibilities of our system
Explore in more detail
More events
Perform this kind of events more often
Include more topics
More marketing and more events
Do not change instructions after a practical module starts
To use presentations in Spanish
More time between activities
Very good organization
More time for the activities
Consider this activities but for primary school teachers, The creativity of the groups
Include electronics and assembly of simple circuits
Include electromagnetism and software
Include some modules of chemistry
Improve the description fo the activities
IdeasInclude this kind of practices in the official curricula
Discuss with other teachers and exchange experience
Include topics like robotics, electricity and pneumatics
Additional modules
More activities oriented to electricity
The use of discarded materials as raw materials for the modules
Include more students in the activities
Adjust timing of activities a little bit
New experiences to keep motivating students
Include topics of logic
Include primary teachers
To work with more teachers that work outside the capital
Repeat this experience in the countryside
Include technology applied to agricultural activities and food chain
Include activities related with electronics
Include more students in the workshop
Apply this ideas in the classroom
As presentations are translated, speak slowly to let people follow the speech
CommentsDevelop additional innovation skills on students should be discussed
I suggest this event should be advertised and inform authorities and people in general about this workshop and the impact on the technological literacy.
Very good idea to spread scientific concepts through practical implementations
More workshops like this are needed
Thank you for invite us!
It was needed more time to discuss with education authorities
Excellent workshop, very nice experience
It is important to keep teachers updated via this kind of activities
Thank you!
More activities like this are needed
