Design Squad

DESIGN SQUAD is back, throwing eight high schoolers into the big, wild world of engineering. The teams learn to build fast, think smart and not totally freak out when their stuff falls apart. Working in groups of four, each team has just two days to get it done! What they do ranges from constructing cardboard furniture for IKEA … to building hockey net targets for the Boston Bruins … to designing underwater prostheses for an amputee dancer.
