An important part of learning is doing! Science fairs and STEAM events offer students an opportunity to practice investigation and engineering design. But how are scientific projects different than engineering projects? Think of investigators as scientists and inventors as engineers. Scientists use research and experiments to explore the world around us. Engineers design and make things that will solve problems.
