Scope & Sequence 1
Emergency Kit Engineering Grade Level: 1 | Career Pathway: Manufacturing | Integrated STEM Application: Data
Unit Overview Unit Description: When severe weather strikes, being prepared can make all the difference. But how do you organize and store the supplies that could save lives? In “Emergency Kit Engineering,” learners take on the role of advanced manufacturers, tasked with designing the ultimate emergency supply container. Through the power of data collection and analysis, they’ll sort, categorize, and count essential items, using their findings to craft a container that holds everything needed for survival. As they test and refine their designs, they’ll ensure that every compartment is ready for the worst Mother Nature can throw their way. The question is—when the storm hits, will your kit be ready? The countdown to preparedness starts now!
Challenge: How can we design a container so that we can organize and store emergency supplies for a severe weather event?
