Engineering Showcase

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 the Engineering Design Process poster. 
• Arrange the Space Screens as in Activities 4 and 5. 
• Create a Materials Table with the materials from Activity 4. 
• Invite people from the community (including families and friends of youth) to the Engineering Showcase, and assign roles using the Scientist Cards. 

How can we share information about our remote sensing technology design with others?

• Prepare a final presentation. 
• Recommend a site using the data they have gathered as evidence. 

• Engineers and scientists present their discoveries and inventions all the time at professional conferences around the world. In academia, this is called scholarship. 

• If you do not have an opportunity to brief the visitors playing the scientists, have one or more youth provide a summary of the different missions. 
• Ask questions to help youth accurately communicate their results. 

Communicate (in engineering): to share information, data, or ideas in order to improve designs or inspire new designs
