Cadette Think Like an Engineer Journey Activity

Take the vest design challenge, find out how engineers solve problems with the design thinking process., activity details.

Set-Up: Y ou've been hired by a family who has a corgi named Champ. Corgis have a hard time swimming because of their short legs. To prepare for a trip, the family has asked you to design and engineer a life vest for Champ so he can float and play with the children in the lake.

For this design challenge, follow the steps of the Design Thinking Process to engineer a prototype of the life vest. A prototype is a quick way to show an idea to others or to try it out. The Design Thinking Process is the steps engineers go through to solve problems. They: identify the problem, brainstorm and plan, build, test, and improve.

Time needed: 60 minutes

Materials needed:

• 1 unopened 12 ounce can
• 2+ sheets of foam
• 2 plastic bags (like strong sandwich bags)
• 3 large rubber bands
• 2 sheets of blank paper
• Stopwatch or timer

Note:  If you’re missing a material or have another idea for something that might be useful, free feel to try them out! For example, you might want to test things that float, like Styrofoam or other packing materials. Trying out different ideas to see what works is something engineers do!

To prepare for the challenge, follow the instructions below to:

• Create a model dog for the challenge.  Take a sheet of foam, sketch, and cut out four paws and a head. Then, attach them to the can with some tape. If you want to create an animal that isn't a dog, that's great! Feel free to use the foam sheet to create and cut out any type of animal.
• Create a testing station.   Fill a tub or a large plastic container with water. If you use a separate container, place it in an area of the room that can get wet. Make sure to have a couple towels nearby for easy clean-up!

To get started, identify the problem you're trying to solve: engineer a life vest for Champ so he can swim in the water.

Then, spend a few minutes brainstorming the design of your life vest. Sketch your ideas on sheets of scratch paper to create a plan that keeps in mind the criteria and constraints.

• allow the dog to float with its head above the water for 10 seconds and
• easily attach and detach from the dog.
• Constraints  are   ways the design is limited. For example, there might only be a certain amount of time to build the prototype or a limited amount of materials to make it. The constraint for this challenge is that you can only use your challenge materials, including the plastic bags, foam sheets, and rubber bands. If you also gathered other materials to use, like Styrofoam, feel free to try them out!

Once you have some ideas, choose one to turn into a prototype.

Then, use your plan and materials to create a life vest for your model animal. As you build, feel free to try lots of different ideas to see what works and doesn't work. Remember, the goal is to practice thinking like an engineer, NOT to make a perfect life vest!

When you think you have a finished prototype, test it and see how well it works!

Before you start testing, what do you think will happen to your prototype? Will Champ be able to float? Will the model sink? Take a guess!

Then, find out if you were right! Test your prototype by attaching the life vest to the model dog as quickly as possible. Place the dog into the water and see whether or not the dog's head can stay afloat in the tub of water for at least 10 seconds.  

During the test, you may find things that work and others that don’t. So, after testing, make sure to ask yourself: How could you improve the prototype?

Then, improve your prototype using what you’ve learned. Once you have a new version, test it again to see if your changes worked!

Once you’ve created your life vest or any type of prototype, you can share it with others. They can help you to think of new ideas and look for ways to make your prototype even better.

And that’s it! You’ve completed a design challenge from the   Cadette Think Like an Engineer Journey!   You’ve learned about the Design Thinking Process and used the steps to engineer a prototype of a life vest.

If you had fun with this design challenge, check out the other activities in the Think Like an Engineer Journey. Or, explore more about engineering and computer science with the Robotics badges.

Activities and survival strategies for girl scout leaders and volunteers, fantastic beasts inspired think like an engineer journey.

This was originally designed as a Cadette Think Like An Engineer by Laura Witte, Troop 1912, Girl Scouts of Gateway Council. Based on GSUSA journey plans. Our troop adapted the Think Like an Engineer journey for our Junior, Cadette and Senior troop. We are grateful for Laura’s inspiration and for her allowing us to share her original idea!

Our troop runs meetings for two hours so we were able to complete all but the Take Action portion during the initial meeting.

Introduce the Journey:

This evening, we’ll start the Think Like An Engineer Journey, but were going to put a fun Fantastic Beasts spin on it. First, though, let’s talk about what engineers do.

How would you describe an engineer’s work?

Everyday Solutions: Engineers solve everyday problems by inventing and building things to make life easier and more efficient: buildings, bridges, airplanes, roads, etc.

Agricultural Solutions: Working with farmers to design new farming equipment and irrigation systems for crops.

Manufacturing Solutions: Create machines that speed up the production process.

Energy Solutions: Create energy and light systems, like solar and wind power to generate electricity.

Solutions in Times of Disaster: Design structures with disaster in mind. Hurricane- strength infrastructures for cities.

Technological Solutions: Aerospace engineers design spaceships and satellites.

Engineering Design Process

Briefly go over the Design Thinking Process. (Put on white board beforehand, if available.)

Explain that these are the steps engineers go through to solve problems.

1. Identify the problem that needs to be solved and investigate what’s already been done.

2. Brainstorm to come up with different designs or solutions.

3. Pick one or more solution s.

4. Build the design.

5. Test the design and make improvements based on what they learned.

6. Share what they learned with other engineers.

7. If they need to, they redesign and start the process again.

Fantastic Beasts Tie-in

Ask who’s seen either of the Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them movies, to get a feel for the knowledge level on the theme.

Likely several of your girls have and can explain the mythical creatures. We also pulled up pictures of the creatures as well on our phones.

Design Challenge: Newt Scamander’s Suitcase

Ask if any girl would like to explain what Newt Scamander’s suitcase is like. Make sure to point out that it is designed to hold a LOT of beasts, large and small. Tell the girls that Newt has decided to upgrade his suitcase so that if it falls overboard the next time he crosses the ocean, it will stay afloat even with all the animals inside.

• Bag of buttons, marbles or small toy animals
• One sheet of aluminum foil of the same size for each girl. Note: Dollar Tree offers a box of 30 sheets, ~10”x15,” that works well.

Instructions

Tell them to design a prototype case that will stay afloat. Remind them that

a prototype is a quick way to show an idea to others or try it out. It can be a drawing, or made from everyday objects like aluminum foil. Be sure to tell the girls that because it’s a prototype, we’re testing the shape, not the appearance, so this design does NOT have to have a lid. It can be a flat open vessel for this phase.

Remind teams to go through the Design Process by identifying the problem (engineer a case that will stay afloat in water), brainstorming a design, then building their prototype. Tell the girls to ask questions before they start designing: what do they need to know before they start?

• Are you limited by time or materials?

How long does the case need to float ? What do you already know about floatation devices or boats that can help you with your design?

Discuss the difference between criteria and constraints :

Criteria : Things you or your design needs to accomplish. Constraints : Ways that you or your design are limited.

When the girls have shaped their sheets of foil into a prototype design, one at a time, have each team test their design by placing it in a sink or bucket in of water. They can then add the “beasts” one at a time. (I used buttons, but it can also be marbles or metal bolt nuts.) See how many beasts the case can hold before it sinks to the bottom of the bin.

See how many beasts the case can hold before it sinks to the bottom of the bin.

Design Challenge: Erupent Prosthetic

Explain that an Erupent is an African creature that looks like a rhinoceros, but can actually be quite friendly, despite its intimidating form. While its hide can repel spells and charms, on the top of its head is a massive, glowing horn full of a lethal fluid. Anything the Erumpent pierces with its horn will explode.

This next design challenge requires you to become a biochemical engineer and design a prosthetic device. Biomechanical engineers use what they know about biology and mechanical engineering to solve problems related to health and safety. A prosthetic device is technology that’s designed to replace the function of a body part.

Today, the prosthetic device you’re designing is an erupent leg. That is your goal.

Your criteria is that the leg:

Must support the erupent’s weight

Attach to the model’s actual leg at the knee (*low priority, and only if time allows)

• Stay together when used, and

Be comfortable to wear.

Biomechanical engineers sometimes use models to help engineer their prototypes. Since we don’t have the actual erupent here (good thing, because we don’t want the erumpent to become angry or uncomfortable and make us explode), someone from your team will have to model your prosthetic leg (or you can use a stuffed animal).

You have 15 minutes to design and test your prototype .

Cardboard tubes

Plastic cups

Masking tape

Rubber bands

Pens/pencils Stuffed animal

When time is up, have one girl from each group demonstrate her prototype. Discuss the prototype and the process the girls used to come up with the design. Ask about challenges they encountered and what they did to overcome the challenges.

Design Challenge: Newt’s Niffler’s Home

• Stuffed animal (like a penguin)
• Water bottle

2 sheets of construction paper

2 plastic cups

12 inches of masking tape

12 inches of packing tape

Aluminum foil (no size/amount restrictions)

Show the Niffler stuffed animal. Explain that though adorable, these guys can be pretty destructive. They are attracted to shiny objects. All of them like to collect jewels, coins, or anything else that tickles their fancy, and for that reason have been used by Goblins to dig for treasure. The animals have a magical pouch that allows them to store their treasures.

Today, you will be building this little guy a home in the wilderness, where he can be comfortable and safely hidden from Muggles. So your design should be based on, or inspired by, shelters created by animals that we usually see in the wilderness.

Going back to the Design Process, we need to first identify the problem we need to solve. (Allow the girls to answer…design a Niffler home inspired by shelters built by animals.)

What are some examples of animal shelters? (Bird nests, beehives, beaver lodge, den, burrow, etc.)

Keep in mind the features this Niffler needs, and think about how you can find inspiration from the materials and shapes of animal shelters, and the way they are put together.

Remember to ask questions and consider your criteria and constraints:

Work together to engineer a model of a Niffler home that is inspired by at least one animal shelter.

The model must be wind and water resistant.

The model must have at least one entrance the Niffler can use.

Groups have 10 minutes to brainstorm and plan, then 20 minutes to engineer their model cabins.

Allow girls to 10 minutes to brainstorm. If they need prompting, bring up the various elements of some common animal shelter designs (found in VTK):

Bird’s Nest: The structure is usually made of intertwined and woven twigs and leaves. Often, birds use mud to seal the woven pieces together.

Beaver Lodge: Made out of mud, stones, leaves, sticks, and bark to make a large and strong structure.

Termite Mound: Has many chambers and tunnels. Termites create a mixture of earth materials and saliva that makes a concrete-like, water- resistant material that surrounds their mound.

Wasp Nest: Wasps chew up and soften wood fibers in order to make a paper pulp they can use to construct a nest. The mixture of paper fiber and saliva they use creates a water-resistant building material.

Allow girls 20 minutes to design a prototype. When time is up, have them gather together to present and test their prototypes. Ask each group:

• What part of the design was inspired by a shelter created by animals?

How do the different features of your cabin meet the criteria of the challenge?

Why will your design work well during testing?

After each group presents, for to the testing process, see if the Niffler can enter and exit the house. Then, each group places their prototype in front of a fan for 15 seconds and observe whether it is impacted by the wind.

To find out if the model is water resistant, spray the structure with water 15 times and observe whether a piece of the construction paper placed inside gets wet.

After testing, ask what worked and what didn’t, then ask the following:

• Would the home your designed keep the Niffler dry?

How was your model impacted by the wind?

What part of the challenge did you find the most difficult?

How could you improve your model? Why do you think that idea will improve your design?

What steps of the Design Thinking Process did you use today?

Take Action Project:

Depending on the time available and size of troop, girls may need another meeting to complete their TAP. Laura’s troop made enrichment toys for “fantastic beasts” (dogs and cats) at their local shelter.

For our troop, as we’re approaching the holidays, we sent home a “take action” worksheet for girls to think through the process about service.

Girl scouting at home: “think like an engineer” challenges part one of four.

Girl Scouts of Colorado’s Outreach Program team has developed a series of “Think Like an Engineer” Challenges for the week of May 11, 2020. These activities aren’t Girl Scout level-specific. However, they would probably be best for Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, and younger Cadettes. Each activity correlates with the Think Like an Engineer Journeys as each Journey asks girls to do three design thinking activities, and that’s basically what these are.

Watch this video for your first challenge, structural engineering . You will need three pieces of paper, tape, and books. Your challenge is to build three different structures to find out which one is the most sturdy.

We want to hear how your girl is using her Girl Scout skills by taking initiative, caring for the community, and Girl Scouting at home.  She can send in her story here .

Multi-level Troop 65659 starts blog for and by people experiencing homelessness

Submitted by Jessica Spangler

Metro Denver

Girl Scout Cadette Elizabeth completed the “Think Like an Engineer” Journey with the help of her multi-level troop. She planned a blog to help improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness in the Denver Metro area. First, they used the Design Thinking Process (identify the problem, brainstorm, design, and test) to make a life vest for a dog,  camp cabin, and model elephant prosthetic. Next, they identified the causes of community problems with the question “But why?” They identified the problem they wanted to address: people experiencing homelessness . The girls came up with many questions about the problem. They learned that in 2019, 5,755 people were living in shelters or on the streets in the seven-county region and 946 people were staying in “unsheltered” locations, such as outside in tents, parks, vehicles, or underpasses.

Elizabeth and her troop thought making a blog and a comic to educate and inspire were both good ideas, so they chose to do both. They chose to make a blog with their comics to advocate for the un-housed in our community to help create understanding and compassion. Her idea was that if people learned more about how homelessness can happen, why it continues, and what is needed, the whole community, including people experiencing homelessness, will benefit from the knowledge being shared.

To make the project sustainable, the girls wanted individuals experiencing homelessness themselves to be able to contribute to the blog. The troop leader contacted The Delores Project, which provides safe, comfortable shelter and services for unaccompanied women and transgender individuals experiencing homelessness. The Delores Project staff was delighted to learn about the blog and how individuals could share their experiences and feelings anonymously. Individuals can contribute by commenting on one of the girls’ comics, or by working with a staff member to submit a blog entry of their own.

Troop 65659 raises cyber-bullying awareness with proclamation from Gov. Hickenlooper

Metro Denver

Governor John Hickenlooper issued a proclamation declaring October 2018 Cyber-Bullying Prevention Month. With the proclamation, Troop 65659 hopes to raise awareness about cyber-bullying resources. As part of the multi-level “Think Like an Engineer” Journey, Troop 65659 defined a need: cyber-bullying is a problem.

They brainstormed ways to meet the need. They decided cyber-bullying is hard to detect and victims need access to counseling and safe spaces. They wondered if there was already a designated day, week, or month for prevention of cyber-bullying.

One solution they brainstormed was to present information on cyber-bullying to the governor to raise awareness. They went home to do more research and met again to build the presentation together. They found cyber-bullying is a problem in Colorado. The Healthy Kids Colorado Survey reveals 20.7 percent of girls report they have been electronically bullied compared with 9.5 percent of boys. HB 15-1072 (“Kiana’s Law”), signed into law in 2015, makes cyber-bullying a misdemeanor form of harassment, punishable by a fine of up to $750 and/or up to six months in jail. The State of Colorado’s Internet Safety & Digital Responsibility page lists resources on cyber-bullying, but parents may not be aware of these resources.

The girls also learned October is National Bullying Prevention Month and Colorado has proclaimed October Safe Schools Month and Cyber-Security Awareness Month, but these proclamations do not address cyber-bullying.

The girls designed a presentation to give to the governor to support the need for more awareness. They put their research onto a poster board, but not all the research fit. They re-designed several times and left some of the research off until all the important pieces fit onto two poster boards, which were connected. The troop leader then shared this supporting information with the governor’s office by delivering the presentation. Gov. Hickenlooper then proclaimed October 2018 Cyber-Bullying Prevention Month!

Parker Girl Scouts win $500 from Yoplait

Congratulations to Troop 65889 of Parker in the Denver Metro region! The troop recently won $500 from Yoplait for participating in the company’s social media sweepstakes. GSCO asked the troop’s leader, Karen Grealy, to tell us more about the girls and what they plan to do with their winnings.

Troop 65889 is a multi-level troop of four Daisies and seven Brownies — ranging in age from six to eight-years-old.  After working hard over their first cookie season, they were able to donate almost 350 packages of cookies to Children’s Hospital Colorado. The girls are excited to go to Great Wolf Lodge and a two-day camp at Tomahawk Ranch this summer using their cookie proceeds!

Our troop has been STEM-focused this year and have completed the “Think Like an Engineer” and “Think Like a Programmer” Journeys.   Before the end of the 2017-18 year, the girls will be exploring robots — how they work, how we program them, and how they assist the community.  

The troop was fortunate enough to win the Yoplait Facebook Sweepstakes at the end of cookie season. In so doing, they have been awarded $500 from Yoplait! The girls decided to use their prize money to buy robots! They purchased four Wonder Workshop robots with which they can interact and program simple or complex tasks. In addition, they have activity cards for each robot. By completing the challenges on these cards, they will learn basic coding skills that they can carry forward into potential STEM careers. I would like to introduce the girls’ robots: Hamster, Samantha, BB8, and Princess Leia. The girls will take turns “babysitting” the robots between meetings — allowing them to have one-on-one time with their new, blue friends.

She wants to explore new things, connect with friends and her community and make a difference in the world. And she’ll be able to do just that when she and her troop experience a Girl Scout Journey.

She’ll team up with friends to:

• Identify a problem they want to do something about
• Come up with a sustainable solution that will make a difference
• Create a team plan to make that solution a reality
• Put their plan into action
• Talk about what they’ve learned and what they’ll do next

Every Girl Scout grade level has different Journeys to choose from. Each includes a sustainable Take Action project and all the exploration, discovery and adventure to power a lifetime of leadership and success!

It’s Your World—Change It! 

Whether it’s planting a garden, painting a mural or launching a letter-writing campaign, Girl Scouts of all ages experience unique advocacy challenges, complete Take Action projects and discover what it means to be a leader who makes a difference in the world.

It’s Your Planet—Love It!

Girls learn about environmental topics, such as clean water and air, noise pollution, global warming, soil contamination and agriculture. Each Journey is packed with current environmental information and offers ways to improve life for everyone on the planet through a Take Action project.

It’s Your Story—Tell It!

Girls tell their stories through a range of creative approaches. They explore important themes, such as developing a strong sense of self, navigating healthy relationships and promoting well-being and confidence in themselves and others, which gets them involved in discussion about thinking critically and ready to complete a Take Action project. 

Engineering: Think Like an Engineer

Girls discover how to think like an engineer by participating in hands-on design challenges and completing a Take Action project.

Computer Science: Think Like a Programmer

Girls learn how programmers solve problems by participating in computational thinking activities and completing a Take Action project.

Outdoor STEM: Think Like a Citizen Scientist

Girls make observations and collect data by doing a citizen science project and completing a Take Action project.  

Girls get outside to explore and enjoy nature while completing a sustainable Take Action project. Fun activities, ranging from backyard camping to high-adventure exploration, build essential outdoor skills and inspire girls to become environmental stewards. 

Because Girls Scouts is girl-led, she and her troop will pick the topic that interests them the most, whether it’s caring for animals; taking a stand for girls; exploring science, technology, engineering or math (STEM); helping others; spreading kindness; protecting the environment; or anything else important to her.

As she and her Girl Scout friends go on their Journey, they’ll earn awards to put on their uniform. The badges they wear proudly let others know about the awesome things they’ve done as a troop. Girl Scouts can take pride in what they’ve accomplished and the amazing experiences they’ve had along the way.

Cadette Think Like an Engineer Journey Activity

Take the vest design challenge, find out how engineers solve problems with the design thinking process., activity details.

Set-Up: Y ou've been hired by a family who has a corgi named Champ. Corgis have a hard time swimming because of their short legs. To prepare for a trip, the family has asked you to design and engineer a life vest for Champ so he can float and play with the children in the lake.

For this design challenge, follow the steps of the Design Thinking Process to engineer a prototype of the life vest. A prototype is a quick way to show an idea to others or to try it out. The Design Thinking Process is the steps engineers go through to solve problems. They: identify the problem, brainstorm and plan, build, test, and improve.

Time needed: 60 minutes

Materials needed:

• 1 unopened 12 ounce can
• 2+ sheets of foam
• 2 plastic bags (like strong sandwich bags)
• 3 large rubber bands
• 2 sheets of blank paper
• Stopwatch or timer

Note:  If you’re missing a material or have another idea for something that might be useful, free feel to try them out! For example, you might want to test things that float, like Styrofoam or other packing materials. Trying out different ideas to see what works is something engineers do!

To prepare for the challenge, follow the instructions below to:

• Create a model dog for the challenge.  Take a sheet of foam, sketch, and cut out four paws and a head. Then, attach them to the can with some tape. If you want to create an animal that isn't a dog, that's great! Feel free to use the foam sheet to create and cut out any type of animal.
• Create a testing station.   Fill a tub or a large plastic container with water. If you use a separate container, place it in an area of the room that can get wet. Make sure to have a couple towels nearby for easy clean-up!

To get started, identify the problem you're trying to solve: engineer a life vest for Champ so he can swim in the water.

Then, spend a few minutes brainstorming the design of your life vest. Sketch your ideas on sheets of scratch paper to create a plan that keeps in mind the criteria and constraints.

• allow the dog to float with its head above the water for 10 seconds and
• easily attach and detach from the dog.
• Constraints  are   ways the design is limited. For example, there might only be a certain amount of time to build the prototype or a limited amount of materials to make it. The constraint for this challenge is that you can only use your challenge materials, including the plastic bags, foam sheets, and rubber bands. If you also gathered other materials to use, like Styrofoam, feel free to try them out!

Once you have some ideas, choose one to turn into a prototype.

Then, use your plan and materials to create a life vest for your model animal. As you build, feel free to try lots of different ideas to see what works and doesn't work. Remember, the goal is to practice thinking like an engineer, NOT to make a perfect life vest!

When you think you have a finished prototype, test it and see how well it works!

Before you start testing, what do you think will happen to your prototype? Will Champ be able to float? Will the model sink? Take a guess!

Then, find out if you were right! Test your prototype by attaching the life vest to the model dog as quickly as possible. Place the dog into the water and see whether or not the dog's head can stay afloat in the tub of water for at least 10 seconds.  

During the test, you may find things that work and others that don’t. So, after testing, make sure to ask yourself: How could you improve the prototype?

Then, improve your prototype using what you’ve learned. Once you have a new version, test it again to see if your changes worked!

Once you’ve created your life vest or any type of prototype, you can share it with others. They can help you to think of new ideas and look for ways to make your prototype even better.

And that’s it! You’ve completed a design challenge from the   Cadette Think Like an Engineer Journey!   You’ve learned about the Design Thinking Process and used the steps to engineer a prototype of a life vest.

Note: Girls, volunteers and families are encouraged to take the time and space they need to adjust to this period of rapid change and uncertainty. When they’re ready, we’re here to support Girl Scouts to safely take action in their communities—whether it’s helping ensure kids are still getting the nourishment and enrichment they need out of school, responding to the possible ramifications of isolation during social distancing, adapting an existing project to positively impact local communities today, or something else entirely!
