Students design and create their own air-powered rockets, in this hands-on activity.

In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

This activity lets you program your 'robot' (a willing friend) to pick up and dispose of some 'toxic waste' using as few commands as possible.

In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

In this math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.

This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

Players take turns adding shapes made of three squares to a grid. They try to fit their shapes on the grid in a way that blocks the other player.

In this fun hands-on activity learners explore a simple machine: the lever. What happens to a load when you multiply the length of a lever? Find out here!

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

In this design challenge, learners will create wind-powered contraptions to transport a load, such as a cupcake or another small object, and test to see if they work.

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

As learners play this strategy game, they develop understanding of squares, area, and perimeter. On each turn, a player draws a line between two dots next to each other on the grid.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating a play space that is fun, both for themselves and other kids.

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.
