Prep for MindSET: Lean Manufacturing Game
Hands-on activity for 3rd-5th graders to learn some basics of lean manufacturing and the industrial engineering field.

Learning objectives: describing what industrial engineers do, defining lean manufacturing principles and their advantages/disadvantages, and describing the flaws that keep manufacturing from being lean.
Focus: the main focus is on promoting active learning, meaning that volunteers and leaders walk children through finding the correct answer by asking questions.
When: Sun. April 2, 2023, 1 p.m.– 4 p.m.
