How will it work?
Over the next semester, you will will pursue a project of personal interest that is related to Engineering Design. It can be on whatever topic they are passionate about, but it must include the following project guidelines: 1. Projects are inquiry based; an essential question drives the project. Students need to communicate what they want to learn about and why. If a question can be answered with a quick “Google search,” then we will develop the question or topic to include greater depth. 2. Projects are research based. For example, if a student wants to learn how to design an App that helps people learn sign language or how to speak French, research on the topic must be involved. 3. Projects are shared! Every student will present their final project within and [possibly] outside our class. Students may share on a small scale, like with another class, or they may elect to go big and share the information they've learned in a global way [with parent permission, of course]! |
