Engineering for Today and Tomorrow: In an online workshop use household items, to build sketch and write like an engineer.

This 4-H Curriculum is developed by seasoned educators and research based. Arm in arm are the big ideas for this 3 part lesson. We will be designing &amp; building a robot arm. We will look at the traditional design approaches and think like an engineer in XYZ coordinate directions. Why should you take this class? It will be fun to see who&#x27;s model will use levers and can pick up a weight. You are an inspiration: sharing your creation with others inspires their next design. Building a small model will allow us to experientially learn concepts in physics and engineering.Part 1 on June 14 -10:30am-11:30am -Designing &amp; build a robot arm.Part 2 on June 15 - 10:30am-11:30am- Add a power source to the robot arm.Part 3 on June 16- 10:30am-11:30am- Build a gripperHands-on materials are common household items. <ol><li>Assortment of items from your household junk drawer.
