Design Challenge #4: Creature Camera Camouflage

Many people’s lives have drastically changed over the last month. In the future, scientists and historians may want to look back on this time to see how people coped, survived, and thrived. Human behavior is often easy to study because we make records through writing, photos, and family stories.

But how do animal stories get recorded? While we can learn a lot through fossils, biologists often choose to study animals in the moment via observations and trail cameras.

In this challenge, you will design the camouflage for a trail cam so that scientists can better understand the lives of animals around us during the pandemic. Are they becoming braver? More timid? Running out of food? Let’s get creative as we find out!
