Engineering activities allow teachers to become facilitators of knowledge in the learning process by allowing their students to work collaboratively on student driven, inquiry based problems

Engineering activities foster students’ creativity and innovation by encouraging students to:

–brainstorm ideas

–develop novel solutions to open-ended problems

–examine a problem from numerous angles
