AnnMarie’s teaching and research looks at the playful side of engineering and education (with topics such as squishy circuits, the science/engineering of circus, and toy design). She co-founded her university’s Center for Pre-Collegiate Engineering Education, and runs an engineering education program for pre-service and in-service P-12 educators. She is passionate about hands-on, project based learning and giving kids the tools to bring their ideas to tangible form.
