In this design challenge, learners will create wind-powered contraptions to transport a load, such as a cupcake or another small object, and test to see if they work.

In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed sorting systems which integrate into manufacturing and packaging processes. Learners explore how coins are made.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners explore surgical instrument design. Teams of learners construct surgical instruments from everyday materials.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering and principles behind working elevators.

In this activity, learners use simple tools to build a bookshelf with a built-in bookend.

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.
