Join us to tackle a new challenge every month!

February: Water Engineering with ReNUWIt
How do engineers influence the water we use and drink? Engineers at ReNUWIt are re-inventing the nation's urban water infrastructure. Be a water engineer and design your own city to make stormwater safe, sustainable, and (re)useable.
Check out recent blog posts from Sasha Harris-Lovett and Pam McLeod about this challenge.

March: Wind Turbines
Design and build a wind turbine that can harness the power of the wind. Test different blades and designs to optimize energy from wind. See if your turbine can lift a weight and generate electricity.

April: Sound Engineering with Meyer Sound
What do engineers have to do with sound? Meyer Sound engineers work to make music, performances, and movies sound great. Design your own sound machine and listen, feel, and see how your engineering can create and change sound.

May: Catapults
Design and construct your own catapult with everyday materials. Test and tweak your model to see how far your cotton ball can fly.
