Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex

In this activity, groups cut out and sort cards showing items recovered from a crash landing on the Moon. The 12 items range from food and water to rope and matches to a self-inflating life raft.

In this geology and engineering activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners build an earthquake simulator, then use it to test various building designs, exploring different materials, shapes, and design op

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
