D4I’s project based engineering curriculum has been designed to present real world problems to engage and challenge students to explore a broad range of engineering solutions. By incorporating a coding element, we teach our participants to think out of the box. Students will follow the three steps: deconstruct, imitate, and make their own.
Deconstruct working prototypes
- Examine and determine the workings of each part
- Record and measure
- Make diagrams
Imitate the working prototype
- Reverse engineer
- Redesign the prototype
- Iterate
o Brainstorm ways to make it better
Coding and 3D design
- Iterate
- Sketch concept design
- Create design in Sketch-up
- 3D Print
- Model Making
- Code in JavaSript and build a circuit
Let us explore how their innovation can make a difference in the world
