My Project

I have requested building materials such as K-Nex and Pixel Blocks for individual, partner, and group work with the engineering process in the classroom.

If I put these building materials in the hands of my 4th-grade students, their curiosity and creativity will create amazing things.

I also requested the box of quick engineering ideas to use with the whole class using materials that are readily available in my classroom. We also have a Maker Space at our school where students could get materials to work with partners or in groups with the engineering card activities.
