Every week your learner will have the opportunity to follow the Engineering Design Process to plan and design a creation. Students will be engaged in a multitude of learning facets including group discussion, individual think time and sharing, sketching, writing, and creation of ideas and visual content. Students will learn how to identify a problem and create a solution. Students will learn the five steps of the engineering design process. During class I will work one-on-one with each student in order to pose guiding questions to assist during their creation work time. At the end of each class students will have the opportunity to share what they have started to work on. They may decide to continue working on their project after class as well. Each month you can enroll in a course for new projects. You do not have to take prior courses to enroll. Projects per week: Week 1: Zipline Week 2: Animal Week 3: Shoe Week 4: Ferris Wheel Week 5: Pyramid
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to identify a problem and create a solution. Students will learn the five steps of the engineering design process:
1. Ask: What is the problem or question?
2. Imagine: What are some solutions?
3. Plan: Draw a couple of different diagrams
4. Create: Choose a plan and create something
5. Test: Did it solve your problem or question?
6. Improve: Make updates and changes
7. Share: Share your workOther Details
Parental Guidance
If your learner chooses, they may need/use scissors during the creating/building time.
Supply List
Class Materials: Provided by teacher: Activity sheets - needs to be printed for class Provided by student: paper and pencil, materials for engineering project-For example: scissors, glue, tape, string, yarn, Popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, paper, clay, cardboard, etc. I suggest finding recyclable or reusable materials that you already have for the projects. * Some projects may ask for specific materials but most will be student's choice.
