Students from Independence Middle School recently participated in the Design Lives Here event at WQED Studios.
The students participated in engineering design challenges throughout the day, building devices such as roller coasters, rockets, and self-propelled vehicles.
Student-created inventions were judged by a panel of scientists and engineers as well.
