The Resources needed to participate in each day for the educators have been separated into different categories:

Prior to Day 1 Resources:

• Informational Letter - This introductory letter is intended for student's parents ahead of their participation in the Windmill Project.
• Windmill Project Timeline - This is a document version fo the timeline that appears on the website.
• Windmill Timeline Graphic - This gives a visual representation of the 3 day windmill project timeline.
• Standards - These are the Ohio standards for the different concepts that will be covered in this project.
• Intro to The Engineering Design Process - They will be introduced to the Engineering Design Process through slides.
• Engineering Design Process Worksheet - They will then do a worksheet about the Engineering Design Process. Along with being introduced to 3D printing.
• 3D print with no printer. - They will do an activity with sand and glue to learn about 3D printing with out a printer.
• Engineering Jobs - The lesson will be covering what part they were working on and what they did that relates to an engineer's job and what they do.

On Day 1

Day 1 will be a scheduled day and the communication will be through UDRI.

• MacGyver lesson plan -They will go through a lesson plan, in which they will learn about the project.
• Materials -The list of Materials For the MacGyver Challenge.

Day 2

• Read Aloud - This is the read aloud for the Boy Who Harnessed The Wind.
• "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind." - Worksheet about "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind."
• TinkerCAD Resource For Educators - This document walks educators through how to create a class within TinkerCAD and how to utilize TinkerCAD when working on 3D designing with the Students.
• Lego Lesson - This TinkerCAD slide will introduce the students to tinkerCAD's overview and tools
• Nameplate Lesson - This TinkerCAD slide will walk through the process of creating a nameplate.
• Windmill Blade slides - They will go through slides about the windmill project and how they will make the blades for the windmill.

Resources Necessary For Volunteers

• Project Management - Volunteers also have access to a free project management certification program. All they have to do is sign in with their school email, put their phone number (Optional), and they do not have to pay for the certificate.
• Lego Lesson - Volunteers should be familiar with the TinkerCAD platform, as they will assist students in creating their windmill blades. This lesson provides an overview of TinkerCAD's tools and features, become familiar with the basic problem solving tips within TinkerCAD.
• Windmill Timeline Graphic - This gives a visual representation of the 3 day windmill project timeline.
• DTC Volunteer Certification Completion - This certificate recognizes the completion of the volunteer program.
• Engineering Jobs - This presentation serves as a guide for the volunteers to affirm 3rd graders thinking and creativity in ways that subtly connect to engineering skills and jobs without assigning careers or roles.
