  • Design Squad Nation Build Big Contest WINNERS Release FINAL
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Design Squad Nation Announces Winners of Build Big Contest Grand-Prize Winner Invents String Instrument that Plays Bach’s J’esu, Joy of Man’s Desiring Contest Challenged Kids to Think Big By Creating their Own Super-Sized Design Squad Activity BOSTON, MA (September 08, 2011) – Design Squad Nation, the series that works side by side with kids to help turn their dreams into reality, is pleased to announce the winners of its 2011 Build Big Contest. Paul Poulos, Kalin Ngo, and Robert Schill, students from Westlake High School in Westlake, Ohio, used rubber bands, plywood, and a lot of ingenuity to create a musical instrument that plays Bach’s J’esu, Joy of Man’s Desiring. Paul, Kalin, and Robert learned about the Build Big Contest through a Design Squad class offered at Westlake High by their teacher Scott Kutz. One of the only classes of its kind, it uses Design Squad activities and videos to give kids hands-on experiences with engineering. “The US is lagging behind other countries in science, math and engineering,” says Scott Kutz. “With Design Squad, I’m able to expose kids to an interest and passion they might not have had.” “With this class and Design Squad, I get to learn how to be creative and make things through real life problem solving,” says Robert. Kalin agrees. “I would never have known I could do this without Design Squad. I’m not usually someone who would even think about using tools, but this project changed that.” The Build Big Contest challenged teams of kids, led by a mentor adult, to super-size one of Design Squad’s 40 hands-on activities found online at PBSKIDSGO.org/designsquad.
