http://www.dupagechildrensmuseum.org/kdn/ Kids Design Network Offered by the DuPage Children's Museum, the Kids Design Network (KDN) is a free program that gives elementary school students an opportunity to solve real-life engineering problems. A quick registration is required, which should be done by a teacher or parent. The student(s) can then choose which of the six challenges is most intriguing. Once they pick a challenge, they can draw their design solution on the KDN drawing board (it will be saved in the account). If the student(s) need help, they can sign up to talk with a KDN engineer through online chat. After the design is finished, they gather materials and assemble the working product. This is a fun, educational way to pique children's interest in engineering and teach them valuable problem- solving skills.
