Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Engineering Design Process. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Ask questions in order to solve real world problems.

Create the design and verify whether the design meets the original objectives.

The engineering design process repeats until a solution is found.

A problem can have multiple solutions.

Most problems are solved through multiple attempts at finding a solution.

Explain design through sketches, images or written statements.

Discuss how you could improve your solution.

Communicate the results and get feedback.

Analyze and talk about what worked and what could be improved.
