Lesson #2: Engineering Design Process
This is the second lesson in a series of lesson designed to introduce the engineering design process to middle schoolers. In this lesson students will use the engineering design process reverse engineer a coffee cup racer. They will test their design against the original. The main take away for the student is that testing the design is an important part of the process.

Students will design and construct a prototype of a tiny house on wheels. They will use graph paper to draw out their ideal tiny house on wheels, ensuring the sizing of the rooms and ceilings are
Students will compare and contrast homes and technology from 50 years ago to the present day. Students will design a SMART home gadget that can be implemented into SMART homes of the future.
Using Stop Motion Animation to Show Step-by-Step Instructions and Solve Real World Math Problems
Stop motion is a great way for students to slow down working through the steps in math to demonstrate their understanding of math concepts. Students can film a short story or step-by-step instructions
