Novel Engineering

Instructor:  Cheryl Burton

(No class on Nov 24th - following the Snoqualmie Valley School District calendar) 

Description:   During this multi-session course, students will learn that an engineering problem is a real world problem that can be solved through an intentional design. They will identify engineering problems present in a short picture book, select a problem to solve, then draw and describe 3+ solutions to the problem. Students will build a prototype of their solution, engage in giving/receiving feedback, apply feedback, then test the final version of their solution. Prototypes will be limited to materials provided mimicking real world limitations. The class involves group work and individual work.

Skill Level/Age Range: All levels/ 3rd-5th Grade

Student Instructions: Come enjoy some afternoon, problem-solving fun.

Materials Needed:‍ All materials will be supplied by the instructor.
