Teresa Kennedy from ICASE coordinates an Engineering Design Challenge and she had about 400 students from 9 countries participated in 2020 (Argentina; China; the Dominican Republic; England; Japan; Peru; Russia; Turkey; and the U.S.). Students represented primary schools, secondary schools, and institutions of higher education.
She has produced a publication based on this initiative and asks that you share this with any schools that may be interested in joining the Challenge in 2021. New countries that have joined in 2021 so far include Chile and Kuwait.
The project website is COVID-19 Engineering Design Challenge or you can use the direct link: https://uttyler.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eXILiS0zOZ2pAnb
Teresa would be happy to Zoom with any educators that are interested in joining and she provide certificates to all teachers and their students and assist them as needed.
