In this design challenge, leaners attempt to build a strong structure out of LEGO® bricks that can withstand a 4-foot drop.

This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.

If you have 3-foot dowels and rubber bands, you can can started on this fun and open design challenge. You can make structures big and small: make it so you can fit your parent into it!

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

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.

A group of 6 learners works together as a team with each learner performing a different role. Together, they need to maneuver a die through a maze.

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 activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.
