How did people figure out how to build them? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003e3D Engineering: Design and Build Your Own Prototypes\u003c\/i\u003e, young readers tackle real-life engineering problems by figuring out real-life solutions. Kids apply science and math skills to create prototypes for bridges, instruments, alarms, and more. Prototypes are preliminary models used by engineers--and kids--to evaluate ideas and to better understand how things work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEngineering design starts with an idea. How do we get to the other side of the river? How do we travel long distances in short periods of time? Using a structured engineering design process, kids learn how to brainstorm, build a prototype, test a prototype, evaluate, and re-design. Projects include designing a cardboard chair to understand the stiffness of structural systems and designing and building a set of pan pipes to experiment with pitch and volume. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCreating prototypes is a key step in the engineering design process and prototyping early in the design process generally results in better processes and products. \u003ci\u003e3D Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e gives kids a chance to figure out many different prototypes, empowering them to discover the mechanics of the world we know.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nomad Press (VT)","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45411925950615,"sku":"9781619303119","price":1518.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781619303119.webp?v=1767672888","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/3-d-engineering-design-and-build-your-own-prototypes-9781619303119","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
