Featured Projects
Air Conditioning Engineering Design Unit
Students apply the engineering design process to design, build, and test functional air conditioning prototypes. The unit emphasizes iterative design, problem-solving, and real-world engineering applications. Student packets and instructor units provide pacing, facilitation notes, and modular delivery.
Museum of Earth’s Geological Features
Students curate a classroom museum of geological features, researching landforms, plate tectonics, and erosion processes. A two-page student guide walks learners through selecting features, building models, and explaining geologic processes. A rubric supports assessment and guides high-quality work.
Hovercraft Construction Project
Learners explore physics and engineering concepts by constructing hovercrafts. Students measure, cut, assemble, and test designs while troubleshooting lift, airflow, and stability. Step-by-step build plans and construction timelines guide implementation, promoting collaboration and critical thinking.
