In this activity, learners will make a marionette puppet and put on a show. Learners will explore color, design, fabrication and storytelling through this activity.

In this activity, learners will create their own percussion instrument with recycled materials. Learners will explore design, fabrication, cause and effect and sound through this activity.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

In this activity, learners will learn how to knit using only their hands. Learners will explore patterns and fabrication as well as develop fine motor skills and patience through this activity.

In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

In this activity, learners construct three quick and simple mechanisms to start building a pop-up book. Learners fold, cut, and glue paper to make a bird beak, parallelogram, and V-fold.

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

In this activity, learners will use a variety of household and/or natural objects to design a sculpture that balances from a single point.

In this activity, learners explore physics by building a catapult that launches marshmallows with household objects.

In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

In this activity, learners will practice writing while making a fun messy craft. Learners will explore texture and color as well as develop writing and fine motor skills through this activity.

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

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

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.

Learners assemble a hot-air balloon from tissue paper. The heated air (from a heat gun) inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air and causes the balloon to float.
