MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.
