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

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.

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.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

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

Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).
