Pipeline Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

Oil Spill Solutions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

Toxic Popcorn Design Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.
MarsBound!: Mission to the Red Planet
Source Institutions
MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

Seeing the World Through a Different Lens
Source Institutions
Learners participate in a variety of activities modeling different disabilities.

Tennis Anyone?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

Low-Tech Water Filter for High-Impact Clean
Source Institutions
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.

Four Corners
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.

Levers at Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

Design a Park
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

Tinkering with Tops
Source Institutions
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.

Construction Technologies: Construct the Strongest Bridge
Source Institutions
Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

Nano Latch-n-Catch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.
