Engineering design projects serve as great opportunities for collaborative problem solving. In this case, students work in small groups designing, building, and eventually testing a structure that meets a teacher-specified objective. It could be making the tallest tower, or creating a structure that can support the most weight. The lesson concludes with a discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of the different designs, making comparisons with real-world structures and practical applications. Consider setting a side one hour each week for this and other engineering design challenges, teaching young learners how to apply their knowledge and experience to creatively solve problems.
