Program Description

Event Details

Use the engineering design process to design a humane trap to catch an invasive “toad” before it causes environmental harm. We’ll be exploring mechanical engineering, physical principles, measurements, and prototype testing to build the perfect toad trap! As field biologists, we will need to find ways to trigger the trap from afar and to ensure that the “toad” is unharmed.  Register beginning July 2.
