This is an exploration of engineering, computer programming basics, and Engineering Design Process. Students document progress in an Engineer’s Journal. The activities will culminate in a day at MUSC Health Professions and Research Center to see robots in occupational therapy. Goal: greater understanding of communication skills, group work, importance of planning, future career options in engineering, and the chance to develop technology skills and programming basics.

Oct. 4, 2011
Last Friday I met with Mrs. Kainz in her office. She is keeping my LEGOs in her locked closet there. I showed her my first lesson plan, and she gave me some tips for a starting activity! We are going to meet most Fridays to build with the LEGOs and explore the LabView programming software together. Hopefully I will sit in on some of her classes/ after school workshops and club meetings too. I invited her to come to my first after school meeting with the girls in November. Tomorrow, (Weds. Oct 5th) I am going over to MUSC to meet with Jenna Nott, who knows how to work the LabView. She is going to tutor me in computer programming-- hopefully I will have my first code written my the end of the week!!
