Brownies! During this workshop you will learn to think and navigate problems like an inventor. Find out how inventors make stuff - and become an inventor yourself! Together you will go over the engineer design process and learn how to make a needs list to solve problems with fellow designers. You’ll learn pre-steps and create an invention at this workshop, and share it with fellow Girl Scouts for further inspiration.
