In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

In this activity, learners are challenged to create a parachute using easily sourced materials in order to transport a LEGO figure safely to the ground.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this activity, learners design and build a Zoom-a-rang using everyday materials. Experiment with different materials and Zoom-a-rang designs to see how they fly.

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

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

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 will put together towers using building bricks, then take the tower apart and challenge themselves to use the same bricks used to build a bridge.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

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.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this online Flash game, learners test their engineering know-how, moving a collection of mechanical parts onto a board to make complete a system of parts that will move a ball from start to finish.

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

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

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 engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.
