Handle With Care! A Postal Engineering and Design Challenge
The Systems at Work exhibition provides a historical account of the ways in which the postal systems in the United States have ensured fast, secure, and regular mail service through changing and challenging times. As new technologies and requirements arose, the mailing industry sought to solve the universal service challenge with new tools and techniques.
This companion lesson plan to the Systems at Work exhibit supports teaching and learning through STEAM thinking and problem-solving skills as students learn about parcel post and package design through a hands-on activity.
