Michelle's MVP Award Storybook

Overview

Michelle and her big brother, Tim, play on a hockey team together. Tim is one of the best players, and Michelle usually doesn’t mind getting help with hockey from her brother. Michelle contributes to the team in her own special way: by making a Most Valuable Player (MVP) award out of play dough, which is given to a team member after every practice. 

When Coach tells the team that they have the chance to see the Toronto Maple Leafs play in a professional game, everyone is excited—but they need to raise a lot of money to buy tickets. The team needs a great sales idea for their booth at the school fair, and Michelle’s play dough might just be it. Can Michelle become the team’s MVP by creating a fun, easy-to-follow play dough process? 

Readers are encouraged to design and improve their own play dough process. With some creativity and knowledge of the engineering design process, everyone can engineer!
