Lesson #3: Modifying a Design
This the third lesson in a series of lessons that introduce the engineering design process to middle schoolers. In this lesson students will go through the design process twice modifying their original prototype based on a set of criteria and constraints. The main take away for the students is that there are many ways to modify a design, and that each modification must meet the criteria for the identified solution.

Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about
