Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

What's a more compelling problem to solve than being stranded on a deserted island?

If you have 3-foot dowels and rubber bands, you can can started on this fun and open design challenge. You can make structures big and small: make it so you can fit your parent into it!

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.
