In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

In this activity, learners explore the design of tall structures such as skyscrapers and telecommunication towers.

In this activity, learners will engineer a roof using simple materials to protect a construction paper person from a rainstorm.

In this activity, learners will use household items to design and build an elevator that will carry 2 passengers to a height of 16 inches...or higher!

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.

In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

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 are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

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

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

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

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.
