Communicating with Lego
This is a GREAT activity showing my future engineers how important communication is in product development. This is adapted from an activity a friend of mine found and we tweaked it to fit our engineering classroom. Basically students are playing Telephone to take a project from the client's vision to completed solution. Students are given job titles of Client, Sales Rep., Engineer, and Contractor. Clients work with Sales Reps to create a Lego model, then Sales Reps communicate with Engineers, w
