Audience
Engineering Days are held multiple times a year for groups of interested
middle or high school students, with content adjusted for the particular age
group. The kids are guided through the activities by young researches and
engineers that can share their excitement for the amazing new skills that they
are learning.
Activities
We aim to have a great diversity of skills showcased and taught at our
events. The goal of an Engineering Day is to show kids that learning a new
skill to a level that lets them build a real robot or conduct a true scientific
experiment needs not be intimidating. You do not need to be a physician to
start tinkering with medical devices, neither do you need to be a programmer to
automate a small task in your daily life. Just a little bit of knowledge opens
a world of endless wonder as long as curiosity and an open mind are your
guides.
Resources
We design our activities to be easy to replicate and we encourage you to reuse
and expand upon what we have build. The Activities
page contains handouts and lists of components for events we have ran in the past.
Educators are welcome to reuse them directly in their own teaching and
outreach. Parents can build original and fun family activities based on our
work. We also encourage you to check out our educational kit, the SpinWheel, which will be available on Kickstarter March 16-April 16, 2020.
