Engineers solve puzzles.

Become a puzzle designer for others to solve. Carve out patterns that you see and bring meaning to shapes and colors. Devise Tangrams, pattern games, 3-D puzzles, and more. Use color, geometry, shapes, and sizes to baffle your friends. Play new games each day and see patterns all around you in nature and everyday objects.

A maze is a collection of paths with a start and finish. It is important to be persistent, patient, and an exquisite problem-solver. Some mazes lead to treasures. Some to mysteries. Some mazes are built to entertain.
