COVID-19 Engineering Design Challenge
The COVID-19 Engineering Design Challenge provides students of all ages with a platform to identify and design solutions to challenges and world-wide problems related to the pandemic. Students are encouraged to identify areas of need, brainstorm, design solutions, and communicate their designs to their classmates, families, and community members via online environments or following physical distancing guidelines established by their teachers and/or schools. Participation can include simple classroom discussions and brainstorming sessions or involve individual/group project development.
Teacher instructions for this Phenomenon-based Learning (PBL) activity, and a sample student project, are available in the six United Nations (UN) languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish) plus Japanese, Portuguese, and Turkish on the project web page. Teachers are asked to respond to a short survey summarizing the work of their students and will be provided with a teacher participation certificate, a certificate template to personalize for their students, a world-wide map displaying the countries represented by Challenge participants, as well as a summary of all design project titles submitted by the end of each round of the Challenge.
