What do engineering design, programming and science have to do with cultural history? In the TechTales workshops created by a team of community partners led by UW Professors Carrie Tzou, Megan Bang and Philip Bell, parents and children interweave their personal and cultural histories and stories with robotics and coding. In this talk, you will learn how these projects encourage families to explore science and engineering together as they engage with robotics, computer science, coding and e-textiles. Carrie Tzou is associate professor in the School of Educational Studies at the University of Washington Bothell and Megan Bang is associate professor in the College of Education at the University of Washington Seattle.
