Topic: Creating Prototypes, General Engineering Process
Project: Elf Helpers
Academic Area/Skills: Art, Engineering
Grades: K-1
Materials: Crayons or markers, drawing paper, Legos or other building materials, Optional- Elf on the Shelf
Primary students found a runaway elf that needed engineers to help him. Students were given the challenge of designing and creating a prototype of a product that would help the elf move around the ice and snow. Solutions ranged from zambonis, to sleds, to flying snowshoes. Students began the process by brainstorming their ideas. Next, they drew out their designs on paper. Lastly, they build prototypes of their idea using Legos. Students had so much fun on this project!
