Challenge young learners to cut the clutter with this fun engineering project. As employees of a home and office supply company, young engineers are asked to develop devices that organize everyday items. After participating in a mini-instructional activity on categorization, students work through the steps of the engineering design process in small groups, eventually creating a prototype of their product. This is a great project that develops the teamwork and problem-solving skills of learners, while potentially adding some organization to the classroom.
