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 physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

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

In this activity, learners will make a marionette puppet and put on a show. Learners will explore color, design, fabrication and storytelling through this activity.

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

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.

In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.
