The Plan for the Gingerbread House Nuestro plan para la casa jengibre

Vengan, vengan todos La Feria de Jengibre abre pronto.

Equipos de estudiantes est n horneando, construyendo y decorando. Las instrucciones del proyecto son claras: la casita ganadora debe ser estable y albergar a un ni o y ni a de jengibre en su interior.

Parece f cil, no? Lo ser a sino fuese que...las galletas se queman, el glaseado sale aguado, la casa se desmorona, alguien se est comiendo los dulces para la decoraci n y... ay, no Se olvidaron del ni o y la ni a de jengibre.

Sigue a este equipo mientras compiten por crear la casita de jengibre perfecta. Los futuros ingenieros aprender n a superar los obst culos y a perseverar hasta finalizar la casita. Al final, evaluar n sus esfuerzos y planear n un proyecto mejor.

Necesitas un proyecto festivo con nfasis en ingenier a STEM? Este libro inspira la curiosidad de los ni os interesados en la ingenier a al pensar en una cl sica casita de galleta de jengibre de una forma diferente.

Come one, come all The Gingerbread Fair opens soon

Teams of kids are baking, building, and decorating. The project guidelines are clear: the winning house must stand upright on its own and a gingerbread boy and girl must fit inside.

Sounds easy? It would be except...cookies burn, the icing is too thin, the house caves-in, someone is eating the candy decorations, and-oh -they forgot about the gingerbread boy and girl.

Follow the team as they struggle to create the perfect gingerbread house. Young engineers will learn to overcome problems and press on to a finished house. At the end, they evaluate their efforts and plan for a better gingerbread house.

Need a winter STEM engineering project? This book inspires the budding engineers to think about the classic gingerbread house in a new way. Written in a lyrical rhyme, it's sure to please the language arts folks, too.
