Pondering Purpose and Impact
Our eighth graders are exploring the Engineering, Architecture, and Real Estate Network during their FLEX period by using the engineering design process to design and prototype roller coasters using cardstock and tape.
Pause and Ponder: Building with Purpose
- For younger children: What do you like to build with LEGOs, blocks, Magna-Tiles, or other supplies? What sparks your imagination as you decide what to build?
- For older children, teenagers, and adults: If you could create a new invention or innovate an existing product, what would you create and why? Think about what your answer tells you about your interests and passions. How can you find ways to explore these creative ideas?
