Engineering: The route to problem-solving

By Helen Fields / February 6, 2013

Teams of young researchers brainstormed ways to protect a raw egg — sometimes using bubble wrap — so that it could be dropped from various heights without breaking at a major competition in Washington, D.C., last fall. Students from around the country came together to work on engineering challenges. Credit: iStockphoto

Young researchers learn how math and science are used in the real world, from protecting eggs to delivering tap water
