This activity introduces the idea of "divide and conquer" using a fictitious but serious problem--a pair of dirty socks has accidentally been wrapped in one of the presents that Santa is about to deli

Learners make their own paper. They start by shredding old newspaper, clean toilet paper, and clean paper towels.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this design challenge, learners will use computational thinking to design their own board game.

In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.

In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity, challenge learners to keep an ice cube from completely melting in 30 minutes. Learners engineer a box or wrap to prevent an ice cube from melting.

These puzzles use four colors of socks in a drawer to get learners thinking algebraically.

In this math lesson, learners compare pattern blocks to visually understand halves, thirds, and sixths.

In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.
