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 how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

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

In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.

In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

In this activity, learners explore the many uses of periscopes and how this simple device was designed and is used in many applications.

Make a model city happier with LEDs, circuits, motors, and batteries! Groups can think, discuss, design, and build what would make a community happy. Kids can work as part of a team or on their own.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

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 accuracy and precision.

In this activity, learners explore how the pendulum has been a reliable way to keep time for centuries.

In this activity, learners explore the unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain.

In this activity, learners explore the design of tall structures such as skyscrapers and telecommunication towers.

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 design challenge activity, learners design and build a solar hot water heater. Their goal is to create a heater that yields the highest temperature change.

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