This is a simple activity fully driven by imagination. Using materials from the home, toys, or items from nature, learners create their own world to play with.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process and the basic mechanics behind building bridges as they build one themselves using gumdrops and toothpicks.

Using simple materials from around the house and recycled materials, learners will engineer a grabber device to pick up and put down objects that are at least 12 inches away.

In this activity, learners are challenged to create a parachute using easily sourced materials in order to transport a LEGO figure safely to the ground.

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners will use household items to design and build an elevator that will carry 2 passengers to a height of 16 inches...or higher!

This hands-on activity shows you how to build basic architectural shapes out of toothpicks and gumdrops.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a wind-powered car using only a handful of household materials.
