Description
This teacher’s guide helps you lead an early engineering activity for children ages 3–5, from introducing a familiar problem to imagining, building, testing, improving, and sharing a solution. Children practice noticing everyday needs, choosing a creative idea, representing it through a drawing or model, and explaining what their invention is meant to do. Use it for a hands-on small-group or classroom design challenge, adapting materials and participation to each child. The cover does not show a page count, so the total length is not stated.
