SIFF WORKSHOPS


Experience a better way for your students to learn and apply Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math (STEAM) - we call it Systemic Intelligent Fast Failure (SIFF)TM.   As NASA engineers we have applied this methodology to improve analytical thinking and develop new innovations.  SIFFTM is a problem solving strategy that creates high tech innovators.
