Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this engineering design activity, learners will design, test, and build a “haunting machine” to solve a Sherlockian mystery.

Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity, learners explore the design of tall structures such as skyscrapers and telecommunication towers.

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

Learners participate in a variety of activities modeling different disabilities.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.

In this engineering challenge, learners design and build a crane out of cardboard to see how heavy a load it can lift.

In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.

In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.
