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

Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

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

Learners will follow a specific process to make their own paper using scrap paper, newspaper, or junk mail.

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.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process used to cast and mold molten metal, glass, and plastics.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

In this activity, learners will make a model rocket to test the phrase "what goes up must come down." Learners will power their rockets with air pressure, and soon discover the effects of air resistan

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

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

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 explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

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

In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process of extrusion used to produce pipes and wires in industry.

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.
