(Grades K-12)
Final Projects or Artifacts:
Younger students will create a functional physical model, such as a bridge or a simple machine, documenting their design process with sketches and written reflections. Older students will design a project that integrates physical materials and CAD modeling, such as a prototype of a sustainable device or structure. Each project will include a presentation detailing their process, challenges, and solutions, tailored to their age group’s skill level and learning goals.
Program Requirements:
Program Description:
This course introduces students to the exciting world of engineering through hands-on activities and creative problem-solving. Younger students will focus on exploring foundational engineering concepts like structure, motion, and energy through engaging, material-based projects such as building bridges, roller coasters, or simple machines. Older students will delve deeper into the engineering design process by combining hands-on prototyping with 3D modeling using computer-aided design (CAD) software. The course emphasizes teamwork, critical thinking, and innovation, encouraging students of all ages to develop practical skills while fostering an interest in engineering and design.
