Source Institutions
Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

Stop the Stretching
Source Institutions
Learners work with plastic sheeting, masking tape, and string to design the perfect material for plastic chair webbing, and then construct their webbing.

Breaking Beams
Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

Build A Treetop Walkway
Source Institutions
Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

Leaning Tower of Pasta
Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

Spaghetti Bridge
Source Institutions
Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

Garden Poles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

Catapult
