Engineering Showcase
Youth prepare presentations to communicate their water reuse process to others.
Guiding Question
How can we share information about our water reuse processes with others?
TimingSetup
The Educator Guide has a script, materials list, and prep directions. Be sure to have it open and ready to help guide you through every activity.
- Post EDP Poster.
- Set up the Materials Table with remaining materials.
- If needed, replenish samples and copy new reuse plan cards, Educator Guide p. 53.
- Invite community, including youths’ family and friends, to the Showcase.
Youth Will Know
- Communicating with others is an important part of the Engineering Design Process.
- As engineers, they have valuable knowledge to share about the problem they have solved.
- They can communicate how they designed their water reuse process using an EDP.
Youth Will Do
- Communicate about their water reuse processes.
- Explain how they used an EDP to design the processes.
Did you know?
Engineers and scientists present their discoveries and inventions all the time at professional conferences around the world. In academia, this is called scholarship.
Quick Tips
- An authentic audience inspires more thought in presentations. Pull in random members of your organization, if needed.
- Consider the following again if using a different room:
- Have paper towels and a sink handy.
- To avoid stains, set pH strips on paper towels.
