Professional Development
Inspire curiosity in every classroom and learning space.
We do more than hand out lesson plans. We help educators feel confident leading design-based learning, support student choice, and create classrooms where trying new things and learning from mistakes are part of the adventure.
Professional development can focus on:
Integrating STEM and engineering design into existing curricula.
Transforming familiar STEM challenges into meaningful, real-world learning experiences.
Supporting student decision-making, reflection, and iterative design.
Developing accessible makerspaces and creative reuse programs.
Building educator confidence with tools, materials, circuitry, robotics, and physical computing.
Facilitating open-ended learning without prescribing a single correct solution.
Designing differentiated STEM experiences for diverse learners.
Developing sustainable, low-cost STEM programs.
Professional development can look different for every group. We offer interactive workshops, hands-on planning sessions, coaching, and customized training.
Our commitment doesn’t end when the workshop is over. We’re here to support your team as they continue to grow, learn, and lead with confidence. Together, we can spark lifelong curiosity, one classroom at a time.

Workplace Professional Development
Who says tinkering is just for kids?
At Dr. Doodle's Curiosity Works, we bring the creativity, experimentation, and excitement of hands-on STEM into the workplace. Our customized team-building experiences challenge participants to think outside the box, collaborate in unexpected ways, and rediscover the power of playful problem-solving.
Forget traditional icebreakers and predictable team-building exercises. Our experiences invite participants to roll up their sleeves, experiment with unusual materials, tackle creative engineering challenges, and bring their ideas to life together.
Whether your organization wants to strengthen collaboration, encourage innovative thinking, welcome new team members, or enjoy a memorable experience together, we design activities around your team's unique goals, personalities, and workplace culture.
Customized Experiences May Include:
Collaborative Engineering Challenges: Teams design, build, test, and improve solutions to imaginative or real-world problems.
Creative Reuse & Maker Workshops: Transform everyday materials into unexpected inventions, functional creations, or collaborative works of art.
Innovation & Design Thinking: Explore brainstorming, prototyping, decision-making, and iterative problem-solving through engaging hands-on challenges.
Communication & Collaboration: Strengthen teamwork through activities that require shared decision-making, creative negotiation, and collective problem-solving.
Productive Failure & Adaptability: Discover how unexpected outcomes can become opportunities for innovation, reflection, and improvement.
Creative Workplace Retreats: Incorporate playful STEM experiences into staff development days, organizational retreats, conferences, and professional gatherings.
More Than Just Team Building
Our experiences are grounded in educational research and design-based learning, connecting playful exploration with workplace skills that matter.
Participants can practice communication, collaboration, adaptability, creative thinking, and problem-solving in a relaxed environment with no single correct solution.
For organizations seeking deeper professional development, we can pair activities with guided reflection and facilitated discussions that connect the experience to workplace practices, team dynamics, leadership, and organizational goals.
We customize every experience to your group size, available space, schedule, budget, and desired outcomes. Programs can range from short, energizing workshops to extended team-building sessions and professional development experiences.
