In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.

Learners create an electrical-circuit maze out of wire, then try to pass a paperclip through the maze without touching the wire.

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.

In this activity, learners construct a device out of a piezoelectric igniter, like those used as barbecue lighters.

In this activity, learners explore an everyday situation, where either of two or more buttons can ring a buzzer.

In this activity, learners explore computer programming and the impact of computers on society. Learners build and test a program to turn a light on and off using an Arduino board.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that will make their friends and family ask, "What's buzzing?" Learners design an alarm with an on/off switch that is small enough to hide.

In this technology activity, learners build an "alarming" doormat to keep siblings out of their rooms. Use this activity to teach learners about circuits, switches, and sensors.

In this design challenge activity, learners investigate series circuits and motors to build a hand-held "kick stick." Their goal is create a battery-operated device that sends a Ping-Pong ball across

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.

Learners make a circuit board that has questions and answers. When the correct answer is chosen for a question, a circuit is completed and a light illuminates.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.
