In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

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 science/art activity, learners create an insignia or emblem for a planet exploration mission.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.
