In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity, learners build a 1:140 "scale model" of NASA's X-33 Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology Demonstrator, and investigate how the model dimensions compare to the real vehicle.

In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

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

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

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 activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

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 how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.
