With Engineering week coming up in June, I’ve picked Engineering week ideas for Discussion of the Week, started by @Sandra Logan
How and what are you planning for Engineering Week? Our members have shared some wonderful ideas already.
There’s a good summary of Engineering Habits of Mind for those who are not familiar with the ideas, along with how children could apply their understanding of electric circuits to design and build a ‘brush bot’.
@Gemma Taylor explains why dressing up as engineers can help children to realise engineers solve problems, could look like anyone, and come from anywhere.
Of course plenty of resources have been shared, from the Squashed Tomato challenge to Little Inventors, and ideas for using stories on our Primary Engineering Page and a link to an introductory film by an engineer that you could use to launch your activities.
