The Curious Engineer’s Lab is where we take on weekly challenges and work as engineers to solve them utilizing different STEM-based solution designs. Projects are solved using a collaborative, hands-on approach and are designed to encourage teams to work together to address major real world needs and issues. In the Curious Engineers Environmental Sciences Lab, projects will focus on the key elements of the environment: air and water, water and energy systems, and innovative ways to reduce waste through clever use of materials. In each class we will conduct a small-scale experiment to learn how these challenges are being examined by engineers and how we can innovate to solve these challenges, such as how to clean up an oil spill, build a super-dome from ultra-light materials and use solar energy to create a heat source.
