In this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.

In this activity, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

In this activity, learners build a racecar using only a rubber band, spool, straw, and paper clip! This racer is a classic toy that zips across a flat surface.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

In this activity, learners design wind-powered cars out of simple household materials. Students have fun designing and then racing their vehicles around the room.
