Throughout this lecture we continually integratedthe concept of the engineering design process starting with identifying the problem followed bydesigning, creating, testing, and improving their technology. This was important because mosthigh school students had no exposure to the design process and this activity served as their firstopportunity to learn about what engineers do daily. The students had the remainder of time in day2 after the lecture and all of day 3 to

This activity served as theicebreaker activity to promote teamwork and stimulate discussion. Decision trees are important inlearning Chemical Reaction Kinetics concepts.

Although seemingly trivial, teamwork plays a vital role in the development ofnot only FTC teams, but also engineers themselves. Teamwork was constantly required to bothcompete in alliances and coordinate during outreach. Since teams often work together to spreadthe word about STEM throughout the world, it is important to coordinate events such as podcastsand conferences so that they can make an even larger impact.
