Each of the above projects follows the design, build and test model that engineers use in business daily.  Students are taken through a brainstorming exercise, presented a challenge, teamed in groups of 2-3 to design their solution, build their designed solution, test their solution, and learn from peers through team presentations.  The projects are designed for one hour in length and can be adapted to 30 to 90 minutes.  Students will be presented with a two-page handout; page 1 with instructions and background material and page 2 with math and science questions to be answered.  The handouts are tied to the state and national math and science standards.  Materials for the projects are provided.
