design, engineering design, product design, manufacturing, technology resources

Instructional Ideas

  • Identify professionals in the community to help students build their own products

Classroom Considerations

  • Check with your school and community to find machining and manufacturing equipment as it is required for the lesson
  • Allow much more time than suggested; if you are only working during class and using shared equipment, the process could last weeks
  • This is the final lesson in a six-lesson series
 

Pros

  • Evaluation rubric included

Cons

  • If donated materials and machinery cannot be found, designs will be more simplistic
