About the Workshop
Chemical engineers are often charged with designing processes, rather than objects. In this workshop, participants will experience how to use the engineering design process to design and improve a play dough. Lesson 1 introduces the problem using the storybook Michelle’s MCVP Award, and Lesson 2 engages participants in creating rubrics to evaluate juices available in groceries. Lessons 3 and 4 comprise of the scientific investigation and design challenge to allow participants to plan, create, test, and redesign a play dough. The workshop will end by discussing ways to incorporate STEM-thinking in classrooms.
