What You'll Learn
Jump to Week:
Week 1: What is an Engineer + The Process
Start your engineering journey by understanding what engineers actually do and learning the fundamental design process that guides all engineering work.
Intro to what engineers do and the problems they solve.
Step-by-step overview of the design process (define, prototype, test, iterate).
Week 2: Failure & Iteration
Learn why failure is actually a crucial part of engineering success. Discover how the best engineers use iteration to continuously improve their designs.
Why failure is part of engineering and how iteration improves designs.
Reinforces multiple parts of the design process in a kid-friendly recap.
Week 3: Brainstorming & Refining Solutions
Master the art of generating creative ideas and learn systematic approaches to evaluate and refine your solutions before building.
Concrete application of brainstorming and planning a design.
Comparing alternatives and choosing among design ideas.
Problem solving in context; shows empathy + iterative thinking.
Week 4: Design Thinking & Prototyping
Dive deeper into design thinking methodology and learn how to build effective prototypes that help you test and validate your ideas.
Kid-oriented explanation of design thinking (complements EDP).
Shows how prototypes help test ideas before finalizing.
Week 5: Presentation & Real Problems
Learn how to effectively communicate your designs and see how real students apply engineering principles to solve everyday problems.
Teaches how to communicate your design—important soft skill in the process.
Real kids solving everyday problems using the design process.
Week 6: Home Helpers & Small Challenges
Apply your engineering skills to solve problems around the house. Practice with fun, manageable challenges that demonstrate real engineering principles.
Designing to help around the house; empathy + functional constraints.
A small engineering challenge (mess control) showing iterative design.
Creative problem solving with prototypes and testing.
Week 7: Impactful Projects & Reflection
Explore how engineering can make a positive impact on the environment and society. Reflect on your learning journey and prepare for your final challenge.
Environmental/design impact project demonstrating need definition and solution iteration.
Week 8: Culminating Activity
Your Final Engineering Challenge! Put everything together by designing, building, and presenting your own engineering solution to a real problem you identify.
Design your own problem + prototype + presentation! Use everything you've learned from the previous weeks to identify a problem in your life, brainstorm solutions, build a prototype, test it, and present your results.
Reference all the steps from earlier videos and create your own "My Engineer Story" to showcase your complete design process journey.
