Engineering Camp
Monday
Each day this week campers will be exploring one step of the Engineering Design Process and one engineering field. Today campers learned about the first step of the Engineering Design Process which is "Define the Problem". They learned that to engineer a good solution they must ask the following three questions:
What is the problem?
Who has the problem?
Why is this a problem?
Campers also explored the field of Civil Engineering. They built Zometool dome structures using repeated patterns of triangles and used the same basic shape to design bridges on the iPad.
This afternoon campers were asked to define a problem in our community and to design a solution using LEGOs.
