This task was developed by high school and postsecondary mathematics and design/pre-construction educators, and validated by content experts in the Common Core State Standards in mathematics and the National Career Clusters Knowledge & Skills Statements. It was developed with the purpose of demonstrating how the Common Core and CTE Knowledge & Skills Statements can be integrated into classroom learning - and to provide classroom teachers with a truly authentic task for either mathematics or CTE courses.

The “Einstein Project” is a framework that is designed to help you find a solution to an everyday problem that makes you passionate in your thinking and designing. This project is designed to make you think outside of the box as active learners and create solutions in uncommon ways, forget about failing or succeeding and take chances.

This site presents challenges faced by NASA engineers who are developing the next generation of aerospace vehicles. The challenges: thermal protection systems, spacecraft structures, electrodynamic propulsion systems, propellers, and personal satellite assistants. Students design, build, test, re-design, and re-build models that meet specified design criteria, using the same analytical skills as engineers.

You and your partner will each receive one paper clip. You may touch the boat, life preserver and Sam with only this paper clip.  You are not allowed to touch Sam and the listed items with your hands. At no time may you injure Sam by stabbing him. If you drop him, he has drowned and you must start over.

In this session, attendees will learn how to lead students through the planning and development process of design challenges. Attendees will develop an understanding of the various components and stakeholders that can be brought into these challenges so that students have a well-rounded authentic learning experience.

Students will be challenged in engage in design thinking as they use logic and their imagination to solve unique problems. Students will be tasked with creating an object specifically designed for a given character.
