Students learn to describe meteorites using candy bars as edible models.

Students construct balloon-powered rockets to launch the greatest payload possible to the classroom ceiling.

Students build a solar oven and learn about the importance of solar energy for establishing a lunar base.

Using only pasta and glue, students design a rover that will travel down a one-meter ramp and then travel an additional one meter on a smooth, flat surface.

Student teams use the engineering design process and everyday materials to design an insulator that will keep a small amount of water from rapidly changing temperature.

Students modify a paper cup so it can zip down a line and drop a marble onto a target

In this engineering challenge, students must stay within design limitations while creating a balloon and gondola system that can descend or ascend at a given rate or maintain its altitude.

Students learn about surface features on Mars, then use a visual programming language to create a Mars exploration game.

Students use microcontrollers and temperature sensors to measure the flow of heat through a soil sample.
