DIY Projects for Kids of all Ages By Nathan Chandler, HowStuffWorks.com Engineering, quite simply, is everywhere. Without smart engineering, everything from our homes, to our vehicles, to our computers and other high-tech tools, would be either be impossible to make or just a lot more unreliable. Children may understand these facts instinctively, but teaching them about the concrete principles and equations behind everyday engineering is a real challenge. Rather than bore kids with an endless series of abstract equations on a dry-erase board, consider using basic real-world projects to demonstrate engineering concepts. These projects encourage students to get hands on with their work and challenge them to use different levels of critical thinking skills. Just as important, these construction experiments are a whole lot of fun. Keep reading to see our entire list of 10 engineering projects. |
