We were honored to present at this year's Elementary STEMCON and we have linked the presentation for your viewing. We hope this gives you insight into our company's evolution, product development and how the engineering design process has been applied in a real world situation. Learn how the makers of CORI applied the engineering design process in the development of our products. We will share the ideation & iterative process and show you how that applies from the real world into the classroom. We will also share the educator feedback process and how that process affects the outcome of product...
The CORI Design Process (CDP) provides our learners the experience of what engineers, architects, scientists, and makers do everyday. We thrive on structuring design challenges and projects that intentionally nurture skills (i.e. critical thinking) needed now and in the future. Similarly to the engineering design process and design thinking model, the CDP allows learners to imagine, explore and create with our tools and materials. The Cori Design Process is the basis for all our lesson plans and project builds. The CDP begins with what drives your INTEREST for a particular project? The best indicator of interest is the energy and effort put into...
The Cori Team had the pleasure to design a custom Cori experience for the UCSD COSMOS program this past summer. We collaborated with Dr. Lelli Van Den Einde, teaching professor with the department of Structural Engineering at UC San Diego and her team. The program engaged high school students in structural engineering hands-on experiences and we supported lab projects that had students design/build a tensegrity table, balance scale, moment frames and much more. The final project focused on designing a wind turbine tower that combined civil and aero structure concepts learned in the class. The 3 main goals of the...
