In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore what it means to work together as a team.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

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

In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.
