Mystery Box Challenge encourages children to become inventors through designing, engineering, innovating and prototyping.

Visitors are given an age-appropriate challenge and a box of curated recycled materials. Can they solve their challenge using only the materials given, along with tape, scissors, and their imagination?

What unfolds is magical! Children take an assortment of materials and turn them into playgrounds for elephants, birdhouses for the future, ways to locate and save friends from wormholes, and so much more.

Imagine, explore, co-create, iterate, design, and share the next big invention!

 

Mystery Box Challenge is featured in our FutureBuilders exhibition, where you can tackle challenges and build prototypes with bricks, paper, fabric, and much more at our Emoji Making, Reinventions, Weaving Wall, and Do It Yourself stations.
