Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this engineering design activity, learners will design, test, and build a “haunting machine” to solve a Sherlockian mystery.

Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this activity, learners create a "Jam Jar Jet" based on Francois Reynst's discovery of a pulsejet engine, which uses one opening for both air intake and exhaust.

In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.

In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners design a bicycle helmet. Participants will explore the design of bicycle helmets to gain an appreciation for the role that helmet layers play protecting the head.
