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.

October 25
This week has been particularly busy! I am meeting with Mrs. Kainz again this Friday after our annual Halloween carnival at school. We will continue building with the LEGOs, taking notes about what to point out to the girls when they start to build. I am also gathering my materials (baggies, tape, string, etc) for the Parachute Design that we will do the first week of class. I am meeting with the girls at some point this week or next to decide the best time for our classes. Right now the idea is to meet once a week, after school for an hour either on a Monday or Wednesday. I will keep you all posted!
