Abstract

The Engineering K-Ph.D. Program at Duke University is a partnership between the Pratt School of Engineering and N.C. elementary, middle and high schools. The mission of this program is to promote passionate interest in science and engineering in students, teachers and parents of all ages from kindergarten to Ph.D. The Engineering K-Ph.D. program leverages our NSF funded GK-12 program: Duke-NCSU Engineering Teaching Fellows in GK-12, a new Burroughs Wellcome funded program: Techtronics: Hands-on Exploration of Technology in Everyday Life, and the Pratt Multimedia Laboratory. This paper presents one aspect of our Program: multimedia module creation
