Watch teams of high school students from across the country compete in an all-day design challenge: to build wind turbines powerful enough to hoist metal garbage cans 40 feet to the Museum's ceiling! The day culminates in a "big bang" when the cans — as many as 30 in all — are released in one loud finale.

Throughout the day, engineering and invention activities for families include:

> Engineering Design Challenges

> Wind energy interpretations

> Opportunities to meet local inventors from Continuum and explore their designs. Inventions include the Reebok Pump and One Laptop Per Child.
