It is a great course and I have learned so much relevant classroom content that is going to help me as a STEM/STEAM educator.

The only issue is that not enough people are taking this course and grading of peer-reviewed assignments is an issue.

Thanks to Coursera support for helping me out. Kudos!

Amazing course for educators seeking ways to introduce STEM to their curriculum. This course is also a great for STEM educators who would like to expand their current curriculum. My only recommendation is to be prepared to purchase the Tinkering kit which will allow you to apply learned concepts during the session.

Excellent course, I am looking forward to a part 2.

This is a great class for learning the nuances of tinkering. We have become so focused on teaching our kids about making things, we've forgotten the fun and educational aspect of just fooling around with things wires, wood, and cardboard, and seeing what we can do with them.

An inspiring and good learning experience. I would recommend every teacher as well as parents should take up this course as this course doesn't only talk about tinkering or about circuits, it teaches much more "the art of teaching" and that is what we need today.

It's a interesting approach about how to teach and to learn in STEAM subjects.

Great course, very visual. Fun materials. Learned a lot!

Muy bueno

Good one

😎

I actually took this course eleven years ago and thought to review what I had learned. I know I attended the course because I have a notebook featuring paper circuits associated with one of the models. At the time, I passed the course "with distinction," because I had participated so much. This time, however, I do not feel inclined to retake the course. I am not sure it has been updated since I last attending the sessions. A few of the provided links are missing or broken. Whatever activity kits were available before seem to have been discontinued.Also, the course requires a tinkering journal and peer review. I have no need for a tinkering journal. I did not take the course for credit this time around. Also, some activities are frustrating. I do not have the requisite materials to complete them. I recall the frustration I felt completing them the first time around and have decided enough is enough. Let me be the first to admit: I am not a teacher and certainly not a science teacher. Originally, I was attracted to the course because of personal interest. Though it seems I excelled at the course, I felt "out of sync" with other students. I am not sure I had as much in common with them as I thought I did. Thank you anyway.

This course contained excellent invitations to open up tinkering-type thinking and hands on work. I appreciated the connections between tinkering and art. Working through the course activities increased my confidence and understanding.

good course its interesting

This is a good start up course to learn about tinkering fundamentals.
