In this activity, learners build their own rockets from paper, coffee stirrers, and tape. Learners discover that when anything flies, air pressure is always involved.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

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.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

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.

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

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bubble maze that allows bubbles to move through a series of “on” and “off” switches.

In this activity, learners build a LEGO® structure while wearing mittens. This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

In this activity, learners try to put together toy bricks—wearing oven mitts on their hands! This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

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