"Engineers in the Classroom" brings professional engineers or engineering students into your middle school classroom to give students a hands-on experience with the principles behind building big.

Through this Building Big in South Dakota project component, engineers will come into your classroom to share their skills and lead students in discovering the challenges of engineering and the excitement of solving a problem!

When they visit your classroom, engineers will:

• share information about their work;
• lead students in a fun activity that will give them a chance to think like engineers;
• answer questions about engineering and being an engineer.

If you’re interested in participating in Engineers in the Classroom, contact Educational Services at 1-800-456-0766 or EdServices@sdpb.org.

Be sure to include your name, address, phone number and email address. If you are a teacher and would like a visit, please also indicated a day and time that would be best.

We’ll match your class with an engineer or student engineer volunteer and arrange a visit.
