In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.
