The Engineering of Food: Everyone has to eat, and engineers are involved in all the steps of getting food from a farm to your table. Engineers help figure out how to make food, how to package it, and how to deliver it to your table. During this program, students will form a team to work as a sweets company, making tasty treats such as ice cream and cookies while competing against their classmates. They will engineer the best solutions possible each day to beat their opponent companies to earn extra sweets for being the winning company of the day. At the end of the week, the best sweets company will be awarded the Engineering For Kids Baker’s Choice Award and students will be able to take home the sweets they earned during the week.

Wreck-It Week: Smash! Crash! BOOM! Students in this program will join Wrecking Companies for the week and will attempt to work their way up the ranks of their company from Intern to President. They will compete against other wrecking companies in various engineering-related challenges, such as building a bridge from balsa wood and constructing safety mechanisms to protect a raw egg from impact. Put on your hard hats and safety goggles and join the fun!
