8. Spread the Word: Preparing for the Engineering Share-Out
Learners recommend a remote sensing device to be sent on a spacecraft.
Guiding Question
How can we share information about our remote sensing device design with others?
Activity TimingSetup: Prep Time 40 min
- Set up Space Screens and Materials Table
*See Materials & Preparation in the Educator Guide linked above for full info.
21st Century Skills
- Collaboration
- Communication
Habits of Mind
- See themselves as problem solvers.
- Make evidence-based decisions.
Learners Will Do
- Plan and create materials for communicating learning and designs to others.
Learners Will Know
- Engineers have valuable knowledge to share about the problem they have solved.
Connecting Across Activities
- Activity 7: The Final Test: Last time, learners used what they learned from testing to improve their devices.
- Activity 8: Spread the Word: Today, they plan to share their designs at an Engineering Share-Out.
- Activity 9: Sum It Up: Next time, they will meet with community members at the Engineering Share-Out to have conversations about their designs and remote sensing.
Level Up!
- Refer to the Engineering Design Process poster (PDF). Ask: What steps of the Engineering Design Process did you use today? (We prepared to communicate about our remote sensing devices.)
