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

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

Learners make a simple battery out of "sandwiches" of aluminum foil, pennies, and a salt water-soaked paper towel.

This activity explores the basic workings of a siphon, which is the core technology that makes toilets work.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

In this activity, learners design a scientific exploration mission to a planet or moon of their choice.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.
