Did you know that many common items were actually created by accident? In this class, we will explore fascinating stories of foods, household products, and toys that were developed from unexpected mistakes. We will use the design process to create our own innovations, learn about patents, and discover the importance of trial and error and resiliency. Students will also get to try out famous inventions such as Frisbees, Silly Putty, Slinkys, Velcro, and more! Join us for a fun, hands-on journey through innovation!
