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 explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

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

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

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.

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