Engineering a Solution
Lesson Objectives:
- Students will apply their engineering skills to designing a solution to a problem found in their school
Let's Get Started!
In groups have the students begin by brainstorming problems they find in their classroom. Once they choose a problem to focus on, have the students list a number of engineering solutions to that problem. The students will then prototype designs from the solution they deem most acceptable. The students should iterate and improve upon their designs.
Example:
At the Maranyundo Girls School, they designed and 3D printed chalk holders to hang off their chairs, because storing the chalk in their desk was of leaving chalk everywhere.
