The mission of this program is to promote passionate interest in science and engineering in students, teachers and parents of all ages from kindergarten to Ph.D. The Engineering K-Ph.D. program leverages our NSF funded GK-12 program: Duke-NCSU Engineering Teaching Fellows in GK-12, a new Burroughs Wellcome funded program: Techtronics: Hands-on Exploration of Technology in Everyday Life, and the Pratt Multimedia Laboratory. This paper presents one aspect of our Program: multimedia module creation.
