In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

Groups of learners are provided with a generic car base and an egg. Their mission: design a device/enclosure to protect the egg on or in the car as it rolls down a ramp with increasing slopes.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

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

In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

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

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design tire treads to increase safety and reliability.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

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

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

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

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 the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

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.
