Unit Overview

In 2010, a powerful earthquake destroyed homes and devastated communities in Haiti. Now our fictional, world-traveling brother and sister duo, Jacob and India, are there learning how to support and protect buildings to better withstand the force of an earthquake. Jacob and India guide kids as they engage in hands-on activities developing their understanding of how to engineer earthquake-resistant, model buildings. Kids will also establish building codes to help others build earthquake-resistant structures.

The On-the-Go Kit includes everything one student needs to complete the challenge and practice thinking like an engineer.

Components

The Virtual Learning Edition provides the instruction and support teachers need to make the engineering adventure engaging and motivating for students. The unit’s three-part structure makes virtual teaching and learning flexible and easy to navigate.

  1. Instructional planning: Get ready to teach
  2. Launch the Unit: Explore virtual learning best practices, set expectations, introduce the unit, prepare materials and explore the unit
  3. Adventure: Complete exciting engineering adventures with virtual challenges that are enhanced with hands-on learning by students with individual On-the-Go Materials Kits

Individual On-the-Go Materials Kits make learning hands-on and fun for students, even when learning in a virtual learning environment. The On-the-Go Kit includes everything one student needs to complete the challenge and practice thinking like an engineer.
