• eGFI monthly ‘News for Teachers’ was reviewed. eGFI stands for Engineering, Go For It. The ‘News for Teachers’ has suggested student activities that relate to current affairs. The September 25 news included activities that were a take-off of The Martian movie with lessons for grades different age levels. The Feature was NASA’s Real Martian Sfx. We encourage all educators to sign up on the eGFI.org website. The home page is also a great resource for youth to explore the multitude of engineering fields. Students can register for monthly emails too. We will have copies of the eGFI magazine at the next meeting as well as the eGFI cards, a superb tool to create discussion and exploration among students. See Resource page for link.
