Engineering Bingo PostedFebruary 20, 2020 UpdatedFebruary 20, 2020 Posted byLynn Mayo, RePicture Engineering https://www.repicture.com/lessonplans/EngineeringBingo.pdf Students relate engineering concepts that they are learning to the “real world.” Best for high school engineering or physical science classes. Students take, or find, pictures of the engineering and science concepts they are learning in class and enter the pictures and basic information into RePicture.com.• Unlike a typical assignment, students’ work may be published and shared with others worldwide on RePicture.com. This may motivate students to provide higher quality work.• Students can use RePicture.com to search for previously entered engineering or science elements (if it was used in a previous class). This may introduce students to different examples of engineering and science elements and increase their understanding.• Requiring students to search for and geocode the engineering science elements may help them better relate the assignment to actual projects.
