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 great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this project, students explore how levers work, by making a puppet with moving limbs.

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

In this activity, learners will put together towers using building bricks, then take the tower apart and challenge themselves to use the same bricks used to build a bridge.

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 explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

Cardboard Automata are a playful way to explore simple machine elements while creating a mechanical sculpture.

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