Carolyn, what a terrific overview and explanation of the Launcher program you initiated at EYE. This is such an important part of implementing a successful STEM program – how do we help kids (and teachers) understand what an engineering challenge is and what teamwork is? How do we get everyone on the same page? Once they are grounded in that understanding, the STEM lessons themselves go so much more smoothly.

I highly recommend that readers ask for a free launcher – these are well developed, field tested, and effective. Go for it!

“And thanks for the offer of a free Launcher lesson at the end of your post!”
I cannot resist: Who says there’s no such thing as a free launch?
