So now that you have a basic understanding of engineering and design, you might be wondering what facilitating engineering and design activities looks like in action.
Engineering in practice is open-ended, ambiguous, and flexible, with no one right or wrong answer. Unlike math problems that often have step-by-step instructions and specific right answers, the process and final solution to an engineering problem can (and often does!) take many different forms. For instance, if club participants are presented with the challenge to create a paper structure that can support a pile of books, the structures different teams come up with will likely look very different from one another! The engineering process is also iterative, meaning that engineering solutions will change, evolve, and be refined as kids work their way through the design process.
