Overview

Introduce students to the concepts and skills needed to dive into inventing with this multi‑day residency. Bakken educators will lead classes through a fun and engaging series of games, activities, and challenges that help students identify and develop skills in the design‑thinking and engineering process. Each day ends with the introduction of a different inventor and the story of how they used these same skills to help shape our world. This residency is the perfect kick‑off to an invention unit or project as it seeks to prepare then provoke excitement in students and send them off with the desire and ability to create.

• To make your Bakken experience really last, book a multi‑day residency. String together a collection of workshops and/or assemblies that allow students to follow a scaffold‑ed arc, specially constructed by the Bakken team from the topics you select. Fit these visits into a few days in a row or have us visit once a week for several weeks to allow to programming impact to stretch wider and go deeper, leaving students with a strong content base and the excitement to carry on the exploration beyond the confines of the program.
