This activity lets you program your 'robot' (a willing friend) to pick up and dispose of some 'toxic waste' using as few commands as possible.

In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.

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

Using simple materials from around the house and recycled materials, learners will engineer a grabber device to pick up and put down objects that are at least 12 inches away.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build a miniature tree house in a potted plant. This activity uses engineering concepts to encourage creativity.

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

In this activity, learners will engineer a roof using simple materials to protect a construction paper person from a rainstorm.

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

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners will use household items to design and build an elevator that will carry 2 passengers to a height of 16 inches...or higher!

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.

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.

Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.
