Engineering Design

Dive into force and motion by designing your own vehicles and roller coasters! Using simple materials, students will engineer, build, and test their creations, exploring how forces like push, pull, and gravity impact their designs. Join us for a hands-on adventure as you become a junior engineer and uncover the science behind movement! 

Fees: $18 per participating child (covers admission and program)/$14 per adult (adults will register upon arrival)

Registration deadline: February 22, 2025

This program will meet some of the requirements included in Lion: Gizmos and Gadgets Elective Adventure, Tiger: Designed by Tiger Elective Adventure, the Daisy: Mechanical Engineering Roller Coaster and Car Design, and the Brownie: Mechanical Engineering Race Car.
