The Boston Museum of Science has developed and tested a curriculum to teach engineering design (and other engineering concepts) to children: http://www.mos.org/eie/lesson_plan_structure.php http://www.mos.org/eie/engineering_design.php This curriculum is for elementary aged students (5-11 years old). They have also worked on a curriculum for high school students, but I am not as familiar with this curriculum (I think it is newer, and therefore has not been tested quite as extensively): http://www.mos.org/etf/ Monica Cardella Assistant Professor of Engineering Education Purdue University -----Original Message----- From: PhD-Design - This list is for discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Pernille G. Palsbro Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 3:54 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: design and children Hi all, The Ministry of Culture in Denmark is asking for best-practice in teaching children design! I know some amazing projects working with architecture+ children in the Nordic countries, but have little knowledge on good practice around the world in design + children. Do any of you have any links or own experiences? Regards - Pernille Pernille Grønbech Palsbro Interior Designer mdd President Danish Designers Ass. Professor DIS Phone: (+45) 2732 0760
