Cooling Structure Challenge Part 1
This challenge focuses on teamwork and the engineering process. Students will work in groups of 3-4 to research, design, build, test, and reflect upon their cooling structure. Work will be completed within budget constraints, a minimum floor space, and a temperature to mimic a real-world situation. Look for part 2 of this challenge to further incorporate the science and engineering process into your challenge. Additionally, the use of this challenge is flexible and can be scaled up and down for time use and grade.
