We invited Leon and Vickie Grant from Marietta City Schools, Georgia. Leon is a pre-engineering teacher at the Marietta High School. He was awarded the WEPAN (Women in Engineering ProActive Network) Leader in Engineering Education Award and the ACTE Carl Perkins Community Service Award in 2017. Vickie is a Physical Science teacher in STEM Magnet Program at the Marietta Middle School, and a doctoral candidate at Piedmont College in Curriculum & Instruction. Both Leon and Vickie have extensive experience in engaging youth in invention education, e.g., REAL World Design Challenge, and Intel ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair). 

In the webinar Leon and Vickie shared strategies they implemented to help students develop empathy during the Haiti Container Building Project.
