In this design challenge activity, learners add a jet-propulsion system (i.e. a balloon) to a blimp so it flies straight and far under its own power.

In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.

In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering and principles behind working elevators.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this outdoor activity, learners use pegs (like tent pegs) and string or elastic to simulate drill sites and roads in Northern Canada.

In this activity, learners construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

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

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this activity, learners make and test fly paper helicopters. Learners use templates to create paper helicopters and then take take turns flying them in the air.

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.
