Rosie Revere, Engineer

As 4HR gets ready to go into the Makerspace to create our designs to solve real world problems, we read the story of Rosie Revere, Engineer. It is the story of a young problem solver, who doubts her engineering abilities.

We thought the author's message was:

Never quit!

Keep trying.

It is good to make mistakes, because then your brain will grow. 

Failure is a good thing.

She needs to fail to make her design better.

Let's keep these positive attitudes as head into the Makerspace.

Engineering Design Process

4HR will be tapping into our engineering expertise in this unit! Everyday we find solutions to ordinary problems. In this unit, we are going to help others by finding solutions to some extraordinary problems.

First, what steps do we need to take? Let's watch teams of engineers as they follow the design process.

Do you think we can identify the steps of the design cycle? Let's watch Nate solve a real life problem for his son. 

We are going to practice the first three steps of the design cycle by playing the game Disruptus. Get your thinking creatively hats on!
