Owning Our Space
Using the engineering design process, students will identify a structural or spatial problem on their school campus and then plan, design, evaluate and redesign a structural and spatial solution while applying the grade-appropriate understanding of area and perimeter and correctly calculating those measurements for their model and the real life application.

Students work together to measure the lengths and angles of a maze in order to create a scale drawing of it. They then use EdScratch to program their Edison robots to navigate the maze.
Through guided lessons and research, students generate their own circuit review questions by creating a board game that requires designing and building several circuits.
Students learn about abstract art and engineering design techniques. They put them to use by creating a cardboard abstract likeness of themselves. They also use video to record their presentation and
