If you’ve ever watched children at play, you know they’re fascinated with building things and with taking things apart to see how they work. In other words, children are natural-born engineers. Hands-on, project-based learning is the essence of engineering. As groups of students work together to answer questions like, “How large should I make the canopy of this parachute?” or, “What material should I use for the blades of my windmill?” they collaborate, think critically and creatively, and communicate with one another. My students would like to take on a real-life engineering problem, our disintegrating school floors. Due to district budget constraints, the school floors have quite a few missing tiles that make our community less beautiful. We have started painting out these sections and our young engineers are completely engaged and dedicated to their designed solution. By donating to our project, you are not only helping the school environment look and feel more conducive for learning, but you will help these students realize their potential and power in solving real-world problems through the process of engineering.
