Rubber Band-it! - Contest for Young Inventors
This lesson was designed because students love to compete, and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed.
Students must use at least one rubber band, which is a prerequisite to submit their invention to the Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors. Whether or not you submit their work to the contest, STEM challenges are a win-win in your classroom or after school club!

After learning about solar, students will create a solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.
This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider
Aerospace to Sports explores the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls. Students learn about how the industry employs engineering
