Making Music
Making Music is the newest in the AWIM Primary Suite. Our five Primary challenges are unique as they not only allow primary age students to experience STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) but they also all have a literature component piece that introduces the activity to students. Each of these hands- on units can be taught over a one to two-week period. The challenge gives young students many opportunities to explore a toy that they construct and to develop an understanding of what it means to conduct a fair test. A unique feature of this program is the use of portions of a problem-solving process employed by engineers working in teams. The "Engineering Design Experience" for Primary students consists of: Set Goals, Build Knowledge, Design, Build and Test and Present. SAE International offers two levels of this kit: Complete and Partial. (See the Kit Materials tab for information) Each kit is enough materials for a class size of 24 students with students working in design teams of 4 in a group.
