PADS: The Performance Assessment of Design Skills (Work in Progress)

Can be applied to in-school or out-of-school settings, assessing how youth aged 9-14 approach engineering design problems. Participants watch a video or see a prompt then outline the steps they would use to solve the problem. Consider a problem in context, use a systematic problem-solving process, investigate properties and uses of materials, consider constraints and criteria, envision multiple solutions, apply science and math knowledge, make evidence-based decisions
