The free web-based Hour of Engineering by Siemens is made of lessons and design challenges that encourage learners to discover the amazing world of engineering. Plus, each lesson takes only an hour or less of your time.
Relevant Engineering Content
On this platform, real-world content is presented online through videos, 3-D simulations, and design challenges. Extensions for offline hands-on learning are also provided. Students can learn about a variety of engineering disciplines and career paths, how products are made, and how engineers think and work from the get-go.
Educator Resources
The site also provides a host of educator resources, including an overall educator guide, scope and sequence options for 1-90 hours of learning, and individual lesson plans for every design challenge. In the educator portal, you’ll also find a self-paced professional development webinar series, designed to help you with classroom implementation. You’ll earn six Credly badges for completing the entire series.
Incorporate Hands On
For those teachers wanting students to complete the hands-on portion of the design challenges, this package is the only stop you’ll need to make. It contains all the basic components your class of 30 will need to engineer their creations in person rather than digitally.
