Children need an opportunity to imagine, design and build! An "Imagination Station" would perfectly compliment our design and engineering curriculum that is implemented throughout the year. Through literacy, math, social studies and science connections, we always have a need for children to build and engage in the design cycle independently. At the "Imagination Station" children have the opportunity to pursue their ideas by planning, creating and improving models of their thinking. Each of our units has an engineering component. It would be so beneficial to have a permanent work space where children can independently access materials to help their ideas come to life! We need a table and seat cushions that facilitate construction, access to materials, and collaboration. We need a shelf that allows student to view and easily access a variety of construction materials. Right now I have a giant cardboard box labeled "Imagination Station" that I pull down off the shelf every day and place on student desks. It is the most popular choice center and we desperately need a space and storage boxes that reflect the passion they have for engineering! An example of integrating engineering into our curriculum: We begin our school year with a unit on Our Responsibilities. As our engineering component, we study form and function. After looking at how everyday items have been strategically designed by an engineer to perform their function and reflected upon how to improve their function. My students are encouraged to imagine, plan and create and improve tools that we can use in our community (classroom, home, garden or neighborhood) to make our responsibilities easier. This provides an authentic context for them to imagine and create practical solutions to an everyday problem. They are empowered to take action and be engineers! Let's make this Imagination Station come to life!
