This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to build and examine a basic electrical circuit.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this activity, learners make an electromagnet motor to demonstrate the most basic method of changing electrical energy into mechanical energy.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

In this activity, learners construct a device out of a piezoelectric igniter, like those used as barbecue lighters.

In this activity, learners explore electronics and motion by making a Scribbling Machine, a motorized contraption that moves in unusual ways and leaves a mark to trace its path.

In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.

In this activity, learners construct drawing machines using a cup, some markers, and a battery pack. The markers act as "legs" for the machine, making a drawing that records as it moves.

In this design challenge activity, learners investigate series circuits and motors to build a hand-held "kick stick." Their goal is create a battery-operated device that sends a Ping-Pong ball across

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that uses a battery-operated motor to "drive" at least ten feet.

In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.
