Reveal the physics of the world around you by designing, building, and testing ambitious projects that push the limits of your creativity.
Can you design a clever gadget to help a team of nomads travel to higher ground during a climate catastrophe? Or figure out how to get a chicken to hop into a cart and safely off the farm after breaking free?
Take on these challenges and more as you dive into real-world engineering concepts. Harness the laws of physics to build skyscraper models that can withstand (simulated!) wind storms and earthquakes. Discover how engineers dream up creative solutions to impossible problems and how you can use engineering and design to tackle the major challenges facing our communities.
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
Tackle a real-life climate challenge, whether it’s diverting rising floodwaters away from population, preparing for a record-breaking fire season, or helping a group of climate refugees escape disaster.
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!
