Measurement and Engineering Design Supplies: 1. Four wheels 2. Axil (to fit wheels plus straw to go over axil) 3. Car body (cardboard) 4. Clips or tape 5. Glue stick 6. Three pieces of […]
Basic Engineering Design Challenge
The basic engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem. Many times the solution involves designing a product (like a machine or computer code) that meets certain criteria and/or accomplishes a certain task. This activity models a simple challenge to teach the design process […]
