9. Sum It Up: Engineering Share-Out

• Set up Materials Table.
• Invite people to Share-Out.

*See Materials & Preparation in the Educator Guide linked above for full info.

21st Century Skills

• Communication

Habits of Mind

• Weigh the implications of solutions

• Communicate effectively

Learners Will Do

• Share design recommendations for engineering space gloves.

Learners Will Know

• Engineers have valuable knowledge to share about the problem they have solved.

Connecting Across Adventures

• Adventure 8: Preparing for the Engineering Share-Out: Last time, learners prepared to communicate their ideas about designing space gloves in the Engineering Share-Out.
• Adventure 9: Engineering Share-Out: Today, learners communicate their ideas about designing space gloves in the Engineering Share-Out.
• Space Hazards: Science Pathway: Next time, learners experience the science of this topic in the PLANETS Space Hazards Science Pathway (optional).

Level Up! (Optional)

In the educator guide, you will see “Level Up!” Sections. These include great tips and activities that build and extend STEM and 21st Century skills, and create stronger connections between educators, youth, and families. They typically take a little extra time, so please plan accordingly.

• Refer to the Engineering Design Process (PDF) poster. Ask: What phases of the Engineering Design Process did you use today? (Responses will vary. We shared our engineering work from all the phases of the EDP with the community.) (5 min.)

• Encourage learners and their families to try out the PLANETS At Home (weblink) activities and those at yes.mos.org/families, which include more challenges to do together. (5+ min.)

• If your learners enjoyed this planetary engineering design challenge, they would also enjoy the Rover Observation and Discoveries in Space (ROADS) student challenges. Show your learners the NASA National Student Challenges weblink. (15 min. to review weblink, 10–15 hours per challenge)
