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

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

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

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

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

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

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).

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

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