Michelle and her older brother, Time, play on a hockey team together. Tim is one of the best players and Michelle (who has Down Syndrome) usually doesn't mind getting help with hockey from her brother. Michelle contributes to the team in her own special way: by making a Most Valuable Player (MVP) award out of play dough, which is given to a team member after every practice.

When Coach tells the team that they have the chance to see the Toronto Maple Leafs play in a professional hockey game, everyone is excited--but they need to raise a lot of money to buy the tickets. The team needs a great sales idea for their booth at the school fair, and Michelle's play dough might be it. With some help from her Uncle Adam, a chemical engineer, can Michelle become the team's MVP by creating a fun, easy-to-follow play dough process?

Readers are encouraged to design and improve their own play dough processes. With some creaitivity and knowledge of the engineering design process, everyone can engineer!
