In this project, time and materials were the main constraints. Engineers also solve problems, such as how to construct a tower. Students must decide which materials they would utilize from those given (paper, card stock, different types of tape) to make the tallest tower within a ten minute timeframe.  Laser engraving: A laser engraver demonstration was given during which it created acrylic charms.
