Dive into the Human Centered Design process (Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test) through Novel Engineering. Novel Engineering encourages students to empathize with book characters and create solutions to problems the characters encounter. In this workshop we will use Maker Space Structural Engineering tools to test out prototype solutions for characters in picture books and stories. We will also create a map for characters using Ozobot Robots.
