Discover Engineering in Central Texas

I developed a 3-part series of sessions relevant to grades 4-6. Each session focused on problem solving and exploration a bit closer to home. Instead of microprocessors, the kids uncovered the steps necessary, operated as teams and planned the development of rollerblades. Being there 3 times in the classes allowed students to express pent-up ideas and questions to me. I think they learned more than in a one-stop session. Kids from 2 years ago are still asking me questions. Also, I saw many of the students apply what they learned in my sessions to their Cub Scout requirements. Thanks to Rich Bowles in Oregon for providing this activity idea.
