Prep for MindSET: Lean Manufacturing Game
Event Type: MindSET
Hands-on activity for 3rd-5th graders to learn some basics of lean manufacturing and the industrial engineering field.
Challenge: we simulate (this is a physical simulation, and no computer is involved) a lampshade manufacturing assembly line where students will play as workers. The game has a few scenarios, and after each round, we debrief and reflect on how the game went, what went right and wrong, and why.
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.
Project Leaders: Yicheng Tang (tangyc) and Tara Radvand (tararad)
