Description
Designed for children (typically ages 4-7) and introduces basic engineering concepts through a hands-on activity about light and shadows. Students explore how shadows form by experimenting with different materials (opaque, translucent, transparent) and are challenged to design and build an object that can create or control a shadow in a specific way. Working in teams, they follow a simplified engineering design process (planning, building, testing, and improving) while developing problem-solving skills and understanding how light interacts with objects.
