These three short activities challenge groups to fit objects through paper and index cards: "Slots" presents the challenge for one learner to figure out which objects fit through a hole cut by another

In this hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this game (on pages 14-21), learners explore how each human being inherits genetic traits such as eye color.

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 use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

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.

Learners create an electrical-circuit maze out of wire, then try to pass a paperclip through the maze without touching the wire.

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

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.
