Build a better mousetrap.

Entertainment merges with engineering as students over- engineer a contraption to perform a simple task. They gain hands-on engineering experience working in small teams to design and build quirky contraptions out of everyday materials to solve simple problems. Along the way, they learn about the physics of energy conservation, inertia, forces and electric circuits.
