The Design Squad Nation website is an online community that grew out of the Design Squad television series that aired on PBS KIDS. The site features creative activities, engaging video, interactive games, and exciting contests.

Consider how to make the weak material, paper, into a table that can support a load. Experiment and notice how changing a material’s shape affects it’s strength. Ask a friend to review your prototype. Improve your design by following the design process: revise, test, and improve! Take a picture of your design and Mrs. McBride will post to your class blog.
