Co-taught by UND Education Professor Lars Helgeson and photographer Bruce
Farnsworth, this four-week summer course provides teachers from grades six
through university with valuable photography skills and new ideas to infuse
photography and visual awareness into their curriculum.
In part one of the course, participants will learn basic photographic skills with
point-and-shoot and digital SLR cameras. In part two photography is shown to be
a valuable partner across the curriculum, in all subject areas. By visual orientation
a teacher can improve student engagement, assessment and student outcomes.

PBS DESIGN SQUAD
Engineers have led a technological revolution that has improved the quality of our lives,
yet many kids and adults alike do not understand how the technology they use in their
daily lives works. They are also unclear about the engineer's role in society or even what
an engineer does.
Design Squad is one of the few places on TV where kids can learn about engineering.
The specific educational goals of the Design Squad television series, web site and
outreach events are to: increase students' knowledge of engineering and the design
process, improve the public image of engineering, encourage further exploration. Free
teacher guides are available. Go to: http://pbskids.org/designsquad/engineers/
