Teaching Engineering Problem Solving Through Tabletop RPGs

Description:

Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs) build core problem solving skills, both individually and in team settings, that directly relate to a student's ability to solve engineering challenges in the real world. Join Steph, an engineering professor and writer for the ENnie nominated TTRPGkids resource, to explore how you can use TTRPGs to grow your classroom's understanding of the engineering problem solving process and interactively practice this critical engineering skill with your students.
