Every third- thru fifth-grader completes a design project that solves a real-world problem. They begin by learning core content before proceeding into 3D design using pre-professional software that readies them for future work as an engineer. For example, fourth graders design a rocket nose cone for their handbuilt rockets that are used to understand forces of motion, detailed measurements, and strategic planning. The goal is making their imagination into a tangible reality. One day, these elementary school students will be our doctors, engineers, scientists, and stewards of Earth. As such, I'm trying to share the most advanced resources we currently have as human beings to help them become skilled enough to solve the problems that we don't even know are problems yet.
