In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

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 team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as efficient planting and harvesting.

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.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering and principles behind working elevators.

A group of 6 learners works together as a team with each learner performing a different role. Together, they need to maneuver a die through a maze.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit
