Designed for the littlest of engineers in mind, we will explore force and motion. Learners will be introduced to a weekly science concept to explore with their cars and ramps. Learners may end class with a share or discovery. #academic

Class experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten
The main engineering learning outcomes of the Hot Wheel Engineering Club are 
1) creative problem solving through engaging, exploring, explaining, elaborating and evaluating
2) persisting even when encountering an unexpected and difficult challenge (Growth Mindset)
3) recognizing opportunities for improving the design even after you think you're "done" 
4) using creativity and imagination to generate and extend a design beyond an initial idea
5) implement Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core Standards for Mathematics & Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts 
As a mom, I have played with Hot Wheels throughout my kid's elementary years.  As a teacher, I have taught this unit of study to fourth grade students, and have adapted the curriculum to fit ages 3-9 years old as well.
