Engineering Challenge (grades 3-6):
Students will be immersed in the engineering design process, as they discover classroom-sized solutions to life-size problems. Students will identify criteria and constraints, develop a prototype for iterative testing, analyze data from testing, and propose and present modifications for optimizing the design solution. Teachers will see a model of how engineering principles can be applied to scientific concepts.
