From noticing problems to brainstorming solutions to testing prototypes, making modifications, and marketing a final product, this journal will walk students step-by-step through the engineering design process as it relates to solving a problem for a person, animal, or plant.

Either use the entire journal or use the one pagers to tackle problems in bite-sized chunks. You can also use the “A Star Wars Experience for All” video as inspiration for students to identify and engineer a solution for a problem, just like the children in the video. A detailed lesson plan on our to use the journal coming soon!

If students are trying to engineer an existing model or product, the IDEAS Engineering Journal might be a better fit.

Consider using SCAMPER to help students brainstorm modifications to their prototypes.

got problems? Engineering Journal

(Print DOUBLE-sided and flipped along the SHORT edge. Then, fold the journal in half like a taco and staple twice along the fold.)

NOTE: If you like the hacked journal versions that assemble into a booklet with no tape or staples, you can find the got problems? Engineering Journal Hacked Version HERE.
