Pre -Engineering, Invention Convention

Engineers improve their world by coming up with new ideas and revising existing ones to solve problems. This activity filled class will focus on the engineering process. Each week you will be challenged with a design problem to solve. Using simple materials to make mock and desktop models, you and your team will design/create/build solutions to that week’s engineering challenge. Along the way we will learn about and apply the engineering process and the science behind the engineering. During the class, and at home, you will be working on a long-term project of your choosing; you can design something that addresses a problem you’d like to solve or create a brand new innovation. We will have an “invention convention” at the end of the semester where you will present your project and business plan to a panel of “judges''. High school students can earn credit toward science graduation requirements.​This class is one semester (15 weeks) and the semester (Fall or Spring) will be determined based on enrollment numbers.
