Wildlife Connection
Students don't just build a structure; they design it for a specific purpose. Exploring local birds and their needs gives the engineering challenge real stakes that a classroom problem set can't replicate.
Foundations of Structures
Bird feeder design is an intuitive entry point into structural engineering. Students discover how material choices, shape, and load affect whether a feeder stays standing and holds seed.
Design, Test, Improve
The student guide moves students through the full engineering design loop: ideate, build, test, observe, and improve. Writing prompts reinforce thinking at each stage.
Bilingual by Default
Two complete student guides — one in English, one in Spanish — are included in every kit, so the same learning experience is available to every student without any additional materials.
What Students Will Do
- Research local birds and the structures that attract them
- Sketch and plan a bird feeder design before building
- Build a bird feeder using included supplies
- Test the feeder's structure and function
- Record observations and respond to writing prompts
- Improve the design based on testing results
- Connect their build to real wildlife in the local environment
