This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

In this activity (on page 2) about fingerprint analysis, learners use graphite from a pencil and scotch tape to capture their fingerprints.

In this activity, learners construct a robot-like hand to demonstrate how data is collected when using robotic technology.

In this activity, children and adults work together to explore their relationship with technology and examine ways to make sustainable media consumption choices.

Make a copy of the first stethoscope with only a cardboard tube! René Laennec invented the first stethoscope in 1819 using an actual paper tube!

Learners create an Incan counting device called a quipu (pronounced kee-poo).

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

Learners work in groups to build model cars from paper parts. First, each learner builds cars individually and the group times themselves.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

When a lot of people share one network (such as cars using roads, or messages getting through the Internet), there is the possibility that competing processes will create a “deadlock," or an interrupt

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

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

Even fast computers are limited to how quickly they can solve problems. One way to speed things up is to use several computers at once.

In this technology activity, learners explore digital imaging and pixels. Learners "transmit" an image to a partner by creating an image on grid paper.

Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity (on page 2), one person "programs" the other like a robot to move through a space, trying to get them to avoid obstacles and reach a goal.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.
