Engineering challenges-SD

High school science students, in the School for the Deaf, enjoyed being product design engineers when they were provided with a FUN engineering design challenge activity, “Mouse Trap Engineering Challenge.” Students were asked to design and build a mouse trap using a variety of recyclable materials.  They did an amazing job of being creative in problem-solving when given limited materials. This engineering activity was an enjoyable experience for them and they look forward to the next FUN engineering design challenge activity, “The Bird Nest Engineering Challenge.” Students will design and build a strong nest using a variety of recyclable materials in order to hold up to four real eggs, representing bird eggs, for one hour without failure.
