If you want to see engineering in action, all you need to do is look around! When you walk through your neighborhood, what types of engineering might you spot? Maybe new bike lanes are being built. Buildings might have ramps for people with disabilities. There could be street signs with flashing lights to warn drivers to slow down in school zones. Engineering can be found everywhere!
Do the Challenge: Pair up with another kid to make a list of the types of engineering you've seen in your neighborhood. First, re-create the below chart on your own sheet of paper, then fill in the columns with the types of engineering that already exist in your neighborhood and new engineering projects that could improve people's lives in your community. (After you complete your chart, make sure to save it for the next activity.)
