Better-than-Ever Builds
Grades 4-8. The engineering field is dynamic, innovative, and constantly seeking the brightest minds. In Discover Engineering, get ready to cultivate the young engineers of tomorrow. Intended to bolster technological literacy, this kit combines the latest research-based methods to get learners excited about STEM. While introducing the engineering design process, the reusable activities in Discover Engineering foster student confidence, problem solving, and other important 21st-century skills.
In addition to using hands-on building manipulatives, Discover Engineering utilizes cutting-edge technology to engage students with a variety of learning styles. The 3D Interactive Curriculum (3DIC) allows users to move through step-by-step build plans at their own speed and even lets them highlight individual pieces for clarity. Available for Android® devices, 3DIC transforms the way engineering can be taught with technology.
With diverse projects that cover topics such as gear trains, power ratios, and complex machines, Discover Engineering is designed to be fun and engaging as learners construct trebuchets, cart launchers, transmission models, and more. The Discover Engineering, Single Kit, suitable for up to 6 students, is easy to implement, designed to meet the specific intellectual needs of learners in grades 4-8, and is easy to use in different educational environments. Understanding that a product is only as valuable as its curriculum, each Discover Engineering kit comes with an exciting, advanced curriculum that is available in print and as a PDF.
