Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach; Acknowledgements from the book "Novel Engineering, K-8" Novel Engineering started as an idea and grew into an approach to learning engineering that has been more powerful than anyone could have imagined when we first started. We are very grateful for everyone who has helped advance the project to the state where it could become a book. We’d like to thank the following people: • Bill Wolfson for the initial inspiration for the project and Karen DeRusha for sharing her experiences
