Forward Education Products for This Grant
These kits align to the learning outcomes this program funds.
- micro:bit Robotics Kit — Engineering design and physical computing. Students design, build, and test robotics solutions - an authentic engineering process that aligns directly to Siemens' focus on engineering education.
- CHARGE Climate Sensor Kit — Applied environmental engineering. Students act as real engineers measuring and analyzing environmental data, connecting to the kind of applied science Siemens values.
- micro:bit Starter Kit — Physical computing fundamentals for engineering education. Supports the hands-on learning foundation Siemens funds in K-12 STEM programs.
Keep in Mind
Siemens values programs where students go through a real engineering design cycle - define, design, build, test, refine. Frame your program around this process.
Build in explicit career awareness activities showing students the range of engineering and STEM careers available.
Programs that involve practicing engineers or engineering companies as mentors or partners score well with Siemens Foundation reviewers.
