Design a leak-proof transport system
The Challenge: You've been hired as a junior engineer to design a pipeline system that transports water from Point A to Point B without any leaks. Using household materials (straws, tape, plastic bottles, rubber bands, aluminum foil), create a functional pipeline that can move at least one cup of water across a 3-foot distance. Your system must include at least two turns or elevation changes. Test it over a container to catch any leaks. The goal is to transport the most water with the least spillage. Bonus points for creative solutions like adding a valve system or pressure regulation!
What You'll Learn: Fluid dynamics, engineering design, problem-solving under constraints, and how real pipelines prevent environmental hazards.
