Reveal the physics of the world around you by designing, building, and testing ambitious projects that push the limits of your creativity.
Step into the role of a junior engineer and take on a series of client challenges, each one a little more ambitious than the last. Could you build a launcher that hits a target every time? Or rescue a runaway chicken by getting it safely down a ramp and off to freedom? Take on these challenges and more as you explore how forces, motion, and materials shape every design choice. Study famous engineering successes and failures to learn how the pros solve problems they never saw coming. Along the way, you'll sketch, build, test, and rebuild, discovering that every failed attempt brings you closer to a better solution.
What you'll do
The Engineering Way
Harness the true power of engineering—the design process—to solve problems in a whole new way. Design, test, and analyze your bright ideas to find the best solutions to the problem at hand.
Sails + Aerodynamics
Learn to harness the power of wind to propel objects large and small, and discover how this could impact the future of energy and transportation.
Engineering to the Rescue
Apply everything you've learned to a real-world challenge facing communities today, and pitch a solution that could make a difference.
Skyscraper Challenge
Create a skyscraper of your own design that is both tall and structurally sound. Then see how well it holds up to simulated winds and earthquakes!
