Design Challenges

This live Museum offering is designed to introduce students to the engineering design cycle. By participating in a hands-on activity to design, build, and test a prototype solution to a given problem, students have a fun and engaging experience with engineering and innovation processes.

The challenges vary and are offered in the Gordon Current Science & Technology Center. The activities are recommended for children and teens in grades 4 - 10. Each activity takes about 20 minutes.

To view a listing of the challenges in our rotation, and to download worksheets for current and previous activities, follow the link below.
