Calling all creative thinkers, problem-solvers, and hands-on makers in grades 3 - 5! In this fun and fast-paced design challenge, each month students in grades 3 - 5 will be given a task to complete.

Work solo or with a team to brainstorm, build, test, and improve your creations. You’ll stretch your imagination, think critically, and maybe even surprise yourself with what you can make. All materials provided—just bring your curiosity and your can-do attitude!

This month, we will be exploring mechanical connections by building and then modifying cardboard connectors!
