Design Squad
Spark Kids' Interest in Engineering
"Design Squad", a new television show that's all about engineering, is coming to PBS during National Engineers Week (February 20–27).
Mixing real-world design with hands-on projects, "Design Squad" follows eight, high school students as they compete to build fully-functional engineering products in a season-long competition for a college scholarship.
The resulting gadgets range from a machine that makes pancakes to a drag-racing tricycle as students learn how to use creative problem solving to solve real-world problems.
