Global TIES: Elementary Engineering Curriculum

Mission Statement

1. Create and teach hands on lessons that promote critical thinking.

Target Audience

4th-6th grade elementary students

Challenges

1. Our client, who is the teacher of the class, was terrible. She seemed to hate the kids and expressed her distaste for her job, as if to ask for our sympathy. She also had no engineering background.

Solutions

1. We created the easiest lesson plans that any teacher could replicate and demonstrated the lessons by teaching the kids directly to show an example.

Skills Learned

Interacting with kids, interacting with uninspired clients.
