Designed to Inspire: Free Activity Guides
NASA, Design Squad, and Lemelson-MIT InventTeams have teamed up to create two new resources that will inspire a new generation of engineers and inventors! First there is the new On The Moon guide. This guide contains six open-ended challenges with multiple solutions that will develop kids creative-thinking and problem-solving skills. Along the way, kids will learn about and consider key issues related to living and working on the moon, while gaining insight into NASA's history and future plans for lunar exploration. The activities are appropriate for kids in grades 3-12 in classrooms, afterschools, and at events.
Next there is Invent It, Build It. This guide (with limited printed copies available in English or Spanish) delivers five hands-on challenges designed to spark the inventive spirit of kids aged 9-12. These challenges bring invention to life for kids, inspire them to think like engineers and inventors, and illuminate how invention improves people's lives. The challenges in both guides take about an hour, use readily available materials, give kids many ways to succeed, and are aligned with national science and technology standards.
To request a printed copy of On The Moon and Invent It, Build It, send an e-mail to <mailto:designsquad_feedback@xxxxxxxx>designsquad_feedback@xxxxxxxxx Be sure to indicate if you would like copies in Spanish, where available. Please include your name, organization, mailing address (indicate work or home address), email, and phone number. Or you can access the guides online in pdf format at nasa.gov or pbskids.org/designsquad/parentseducators.
