Sail Design
In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will design and build a sail to put on a raft. They will test the strength of their sail by placing a fan in front of it and seeing if the fan makes the raft move. This lesson offers an excellent opportunity for students work through the engineering design process.

Students will use their knowledge of Newton's Laws of Motion to design and build a "ski jump" for a Sphero Bolt. This activity can be used for Science, Social Studies, Engineering, and (possibly)
Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design
In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows
