    Think, Design, Build

    If you like to tinker with creative challenges, you’re just the engineer we need!

    About this Workshop

    Campus: Regis College | Rising Grades: 4,5

    Can you turn a toilet paper tube into a car that can jump a ramp and protect the egg that it’s carrying—no matter what? Or construct a table out of paper that can carry your lunch? How about designing a boat out of cardboard that can carry you across our pool and back? Invent a balloon-powered glider (that can win the EXPLO Glider Road Rally) or engineer a working mechanical hand (that you design, test, and build) out of drinking straws. If you like to tinker with creative challenges, you’re just the engineer we need!

    Highlights

    Explore the engineering process of building and testing prototypes.

    Redesign, rebuild, and retest as you find and correct design problems.

    Practice critical reasoning skills as you map out issues and figure out solutions.

    Bring complex scientific theories to life through experimentation.
