The Engineering Design Process that we use is adapted from the version designed by Boston Museum of Science’s Engineering is Elementary program.
The Engineering Design Process is a consistent repetitive series of steps for developing or improving a product or system. Educators are encouraged to explain this 5-step process to students, as well as display it in their classrooms as a reference.
How can you apply this process at home? Check out a fun introductory activity with Jonathan Stacey from WBTV here. Encourage your children to come up with an even more creative zip line than Jonathan did. Ready for a more challenging activity? Give this wheelchair construction activity a try here!
