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

In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.

This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

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

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

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