Use your engineering skills and create an obstacle course for Elsa, our albino American Mink! We'll learn about the mink, what things she likes, and what senses she uses to get around. Then we'll use recycled materials to build her obstacle courses in the auditorium. Blandford will be providing a variety of recycled materials to pick from, and you can also bring recycled materials from home to use or share, but please make sure they are clean. At the end of the program, we will have Elsa test out your obstacle courses!
