So if you've ever wondered how a less-than-genius (and less-than-clothed) emperor fell for a certain con, how the Big Bad Wolf is handling meatless Mondays, or...

Young Rosie Revere dreams of becoming an engineer, and finds inspiration in all manner of things others would only see as waste. Her inventions include hot dog dispensers, helium pants, and special hats made of cheese that would repel snakes.

STEM and design projects and activities, from drafting and doodling to building and blueprints. Aspiring architects and young dreamers of all kinds will get a sense of the unique mix of science, technology, and art skills used to create lasting structures."-- Provided
