Design Squad Workshop for Families

Calling Families with kids aged 8-11 years old!

Decatur Makers is hosting NY Hall of Science and GBH Boston's Design Squad Maker, a program that engages kids and their adults in the engineering design process. Together, families will come up with problems that they want to solve, brainstorm solutions, build prototypes, and test them to see how they work. Families will experience the same steps that engineers use to solve real-world problems!

This workshop is free, open to the public, on October 30, 10-11:30am.

One registration per family. Adults must attend with the kids, and siblings are invited too! 

In these workshops, families will:

• Learn about the design process
• Solve real-world problems
• Build a prototype for an invention using everyday materials

This workshop is recommended for ages 8 to 11 years old. Families should plan to spend up to 90 minutes working on their projects. As part of the workshop, families will also test out a new app that walks them through the steps of the design process, helps document their projects, and provides activities to do at home. Not required, but if possible, families can bring a device for their child to use, such as a smartphone or tablet. We welcome your feedback about the workshop and app during your visit!
