Theoretical training is easily enough accomplished, but the engineeringdiscipline needs to be supported by hands-on opportunities for practice. The under-resourced nature of tribally controlled colleges severely limits the opportunities forapplying such hands-on practice particularly in the high overhead engineeringlaboratories.

To date, a considerable amount of research has focused on adult-child dialogue.Findings from those studies revealed that children experience more elaborate scientific thinkingwhen parents facilitate learning.Given the need for engineers to have computer science skills, academic discourse has placedemphasis on studying computational thinking (CT) in children.

This lesson alsoincludes an introductory engineering design lesson for students and teachers who are not yet familiar with theengineering design process. Working with a solar thermal water heater exposes students to technology that isoften not part of
