Engineering Residencies
Give students time to take an engineering idea further.
An engineering residency gives students a structured challenge and the time to work through it—from defining the problem to building, testing, and improving a solution.
From concept to prototype
Students consider the challenge and its constraints, sketch possible solutions, build a prototype, test what happens, and make improvements. Along the way, they practice thinking like engineers: asking questions, working through setbacks, and explaining their decisions.
A deeper project experience
Nerdvana works with your team to shape the challenge, schedule, and scope around your students and learning setting. The focus might be space engineering, aviation, product design, robotics, or another challenge that connects with your goals.
Student ideas, made tangible
A residency gives students the chance to make their thinking visible through designs, prototypes, testing, and a final presentation or demonstration.
