Students made good progress this week by creating a working design modified from their original blueprint. As issues develop with the design, additional modifications are made. The team hopes to begin testing the design with the simulator next week. The design may not have enough parts from the NASA kit with the addition of the Junior Botball components. NASA components should be 90% of the materials used with only 10% from outside the kit materials. Teachers meet with the Junior Botball mentors Monday on Skype and await additional guidance from the NASA mentor #JohnsonSpaceCenter who has been monitoring the engineering design process.
SLED Development
I have so appreciated opportunities other educators have shared with me. This blog shares the opportunities I have discovered for students and educators as they occur and shares activities and ideas from my elementary engineering lab. Students in elementary engineering build working models, use robotics, and design 3D printing projects using project-based learning. Opinions expressed here are my own.
