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

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

Engineer and cartoonist Rube Goldberg is famous for his crazy machines that accomplish everyday tasks in overly complicated ways.

Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

In this twist on a classic design challenge, learners will try to stop a bouncy ball from bouncing as they explore how to control the fall of an object.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that can travel at least four feet using rubber band power and use the design process to debug problems.

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.

In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.
