Speedy Shelter
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.
Finger Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.
Slowing the Flow
