What does it take to create a video game, mix and master music or design a roller coaster that produces the biggest thrills? In Design Zone, you can go behind the scenes to see how video game developers, music producers, roller coaster designers and other creative problem-solvers use math to do the amazing things they do. Design Zone explores mathematical concepts like patterns, variables, scale, slope, and ratios that artists, architects, engineers, musicians and other innovators use in their work. 

Each thematic area will draw you into compelling scenarios where you can design your own experiences and solve real-world challenges while discovering that math isn’t just a subject in school—it’s a fundamental, creative tool we can use to design and invent!
