Where the Wild Things Are

Stopping for a Wild Rumpus highly recommended!

Max wants to bring one of the Wild Things home. But first he needs to catch it! Max has hired us to design a Wild Thing trap. He also needs a new boat, powered by air pressure, that can carry his Wild Thing back home.

1. Think: Come up with a detailed plan on paper using sharpie and color pencil. Be sure to label everything carefully.

2. Make: Using only the materials available (constraints)*, make a prototype.

3. Improve: Make changes to your design as needed.

4. Get photo taken with prototype.

5. Be prepared to share.
