Toxic Popcorn Design Challenge

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½the process engineers use to solve design challenges. Learners work in teams to solve the challenge by designing both a product and process to safely remove ï¿½ï¿½_toxicï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ popcorn and save the city.
