Paper Cup Stool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

Tessellations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

Zoomers
Source Institutions
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.

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

Design a Seed
Source Institutions
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.

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

Tall Tower Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

Make Pooter
Source Institutions
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.

Cardboard Sculptures
Source Institutions
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.

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

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

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

Exploring Tools: Mitten Challenge
Source Institutions
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.

Mitten Challenge
Source Institutions
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.

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

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

Shaking It!
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

Draggin' Boats
Source Institutions
Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.
