Design Challenges is a new museum program offering designed to introduce students and visitors to the engineering design cycle. By participating in a hands-on activity asking students to design, build, and test a prototype solution to a given problem, visitors have a fun and engaging experience with engineering and innovaction processes.
Design Challenges are offered Monday - Friday from 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM in the Gordon Current Science and Technology Center. The activities are recommended for students grades 4 - 10 as well as for small family groups.
