In this activity, learners explore the engineering and principles behind working elevators.

In this activity, learners explore watercraft engineering and sailing.

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

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

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

In this activity, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how brakes can stop or slow mechanical motion.

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

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

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

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).
