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 activity, learners explore the engineering design process and the basic mechanics behind building bridges as they build one themselves using gumdrops and toothpicks.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

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

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

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 design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.
