Join the Museum of Science, Boston and the Youth Engineering Solutions (YES) team for a one-hour webinar introducing this year’s Massachusetts STEM Week Challenge: Engineering Bandages! This engaging, hands-on engineering activity is designed for elementary learners and asks youth to imagine, plan, create, and test a bandage that can keep a model cut clean. During this webinar, we’ll walk through the structure of the activity, review the Engineering Design Process, explore educator resources (like slides, posters, and prep instructions), and share tips for facilitating the challenge in classrooms, libraries, and informal learning spaces. Registration required.
