Our "Inventing to Learn" workshops provide the "ahha" moment for many teachers that propel them to more effective teaching. Other workshop topics include robotics, gizmos and gadgets, toy making, electric motor science, and innovation.

Sailing around the world

Workshops around the world This fall Ed will be sailing around the world aboard the MV Explorer with Semester at Sea. While at sea, Ed will teach two classes of oceanography and one on the methods of teaching science. The classes are offered through the University of Virginia. Ashore, he will give hands-on workshops at local schools, lead student sea kayaking and snorkeling trips, and explore the ten countries on four continents.

How toys work

"The Way Toys Work" was recently published by Chicago Review Press. Ed and his son Woody wrote this book that details the history and technology of fun toys and shows how to make simple home versions of many of them. This is Ed’s 20th published book.
