Next up is the highlight event… a Design Challenge! Students will work in teams to design and build a structure to fit the requirements of the challenge set for them. Each design will be tested later in the day in front of the whole group.

Following a pizza lunch (provided for all participants and parents), you can participant in mini-engineering design activities or talk to the people at our showcase where you can learn about student groups and opportunities.

We look forward to seeing everyone for this fun-filled day learning about The Wide World of Engineering! All of these activities also provide students with the opportunity to win prizes!
