This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

In this game, learners experience how computers divide a big problem into many smaller ones and how they use binary "yes"/"no" questions.

In this activity, you take regular dominoes, and turn them into conductive switches that can turn on a LEGO RCX block or Pico Cricket (micro controller). LEGO RCX block or Pico Cricket is required.

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this activity, learners will code an algorithm to make it through a maze.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners find the answer to the question, "if you have a pile of 8 cards, and you remove half, then half again, how many times can you do this until you get to just one card?" This w

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

This activity explores what it means for a computer to be intelligent and introduces the topic of what a computer program is and how everything computers do simply involves following instructions writ

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.
