Play a quick round of charades where students act out a career Milo explored while classmates guess which job it is. Set up classroom centers based on different jobs from Milo (ex, a pretend hospital, fire station, kitchen). Have students rotate through the centers, engaging in simple role-play and problem-solving activities related to each profession.

The "What's So Cool About Manufacturing?" lesson plan introduces students to manufacturing careers through a hands-on activity. Hosted on WQED's educational platform, the resource provides a structured lesson plan where students design and build a product, helping them develop problem-solving and teamwork skills. It aligns with STEM education by exploring real-world manufacturing concepts and encouraging creativity. The lesson is designed for educators to engage students in practical learning while highlighting the importance of manufacturing in everyday life.

tag(s): careers (178), STEM (306)

In the Classroom

Divide students into small teams and assign each group a role in a mini "factory" (ex.: designers, assemblers, quality control, packaging). Provide simple materials such as Legos, paper, or craft supplies, and have them mass-produce a small item. This activity introduces the manufacturing process, teamwork, and efficiency. Give students an everyday product like a water bottle or backpack, and challenge them to redesign it to be more efficient, sustainable, or cost-effective. They must sketch their ideas on paper or a 3D model using Tinkercad reviewed here, explain their improvements, and, if possible, create a prototype. Have students experience the difference between assembly-line production and custom-made products. First, have them individually create a handmade craft (such as a greeting card). Then, set up an assembly line where each student has one specific task. Compare the time, efficiency, and quality of both methods to discuss the benefits and challenges of mass production.
