Curated by: Kevin Reilly

Imagine-Plan-Create-Test-Improve-Communicate

In this unit, students will unleash their creativity and problem-solving skills by designing their own inventions. They will follow the engineering design process—identifying problems, brainstorming solutions, creating prototypes, and testing their ideas. This hands-on experience encourages students to think critically and innovatively, as they apply science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) principles to real-world challenges. At the end of the unit, students will build a designated project applying the Engineering skills and practices.
