Description

Class Experience

Your learner will have the opportunity to follow the Engineering Design Process to create three different projects. 

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.

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...

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 work

I have been teaching and guiding students through the Engineering and Design process for many years. I am always intrigued to watch as students plan and create to solve problems.

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/play-dough, cardboard, straws, rubber bands, etc. I suggest finding recyclable or reusable materials that you already have for the projects.

During every class, I will observe each student's thoughts and ideas during discussions to see if they demonstrate understanding. I will also be observing their understanding of the engineering design process. I will be looking to see how they followed the steps and incorporated them into their project.

2 hours 15 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

If your learner chooses, they may need/use scissors during the creating/building time.
