About This Activity
Little engineers will figure out “how” to build something that solves a real-life problem. Using familiar everyday materials: create a shady roof for a dog, save a duck from a polluted pond, build a raft that can support a toy, design a wrecking ball that can knock down blocks and a fan to move a ball. Engineer a trash collector and design a program for a robot to take trash to the right recycle bin. As kids build 3D models to solve everyday problems, they learn about structural, design, and environmental engineering, and increase their problem-solving abilities and design thinking.
