In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive pulley assemblies from pulley wheels used for sliding screen door replacement or from clothesline spreaders.

In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.

In this series of activities (page 5), students are introduced to the design process.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this activity, learners explore watercraft engineering and sailing.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of force and how pulleys are used in everyday life to make work easier.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

In this activity, learners explore how voting systems have changed with engineering advances over time. Learners work in teams to design their own voting system using easy to find materials.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

In this activity, learners explore the unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain.

The goal of this Star Wars activity is to design and build a balancing device to help an Ewok escape the Imperial Forces by sliding down a tightrope to safety.
