Everyday Engineering
Build on a Budget
Build more with less! Cultivate an engineering mindset by constructing and creating in your classroom using everyday materials. Together, we’ll make STEM accessible and affordable!
Learning goals
Participants will gain tools to develop highly engaging engineering lessons for any subject and budget.
PD Components
- Define the engineering design process
- Explore examples of “classic” everyday engineering lessons
- Identify which engineering topics are best for various subjects and grade levels
- Discuss best practices regarding material management, design constraints, and checkpoint-based grading
- Practice using everyday engineering lessons to bring literature, history, science, and mathematics to life
- Brainstorm and develop your very own cross-curricular engineering lesson
- Discuss the “Dos” and “Don’ts” of hands-on engineering projects
