Learners work in groups to design and build a tower out of balsa wood. As a motivator, they can compete to build a tower with the highest strength-to-weight ratio.

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

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

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

In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.
