In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

Play with your food while learning about engineering! Build a spaghetti bridge, then test its strength by piling on the marshmallows, raw spaghetti, raw linguine and coins.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to invent a water filter that cleans dirty water.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Mars Rovers," participants learn about how scientists and engineers use robotic rovers and other vehicles to explore distant worlds, and experience some of the challeng

Space telescopes can offer us better, clearer views of the universe (and of our own planet) than Earth-based telescopes can, but getting these large, delicate pieces of equipment into orbit is tricky.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners explore how engineers characterize building materials.

In this activity, learners will make their own "ball bearing" with two jar lids, marbles, and some household supplies.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

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.

Learners work in groups to build model cars from paper parts. First, each learner builds cars individually and the group times themselves.

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.
