Engineering Explorations

Need great STEM projects for student engagement at home during virtual learning or distance learning? Engineering Explorations Virtual Learning projects or missions as we call them are perfect for at-home distance learning because they are designed to use only simple common household items that are inexpensive. These hands-on missions are also designed to have a wide complexity of solutions so they can be completed by a wide age (K-9). Written by certified Technology Education teachers. Also,

This is a great starter STEM project for engaging students at-home in Virtual Learning to teach about structures and loads. This can be done with only paper and ping pong or similar type of ball. How high can your tower stand? Written by certified Technology Education teachers. Also, No Computer Required only Learning by Doing!

Ever see Plinko on Price is Right? Its a fun and exciting game! This STEM Virtual Learning project engages at home students by challenging them to design their very own Plinko like game using marbles and other simple inexpensive materials. They will apply STEM principles in design and engineering. With various solutions that can range in complexity, it suits a range of ages (7-14 years old). Written by certified Technology Education teachers. Also, No Computer Required only Learning by Doing!

Ever play Skee-Ball at the arcade? A fun game and competitive game that is always entertaining! This Super Skee-Ball Virtual Learning project engages the at-home student by challenging them to design and construct their very own Skee-Ball game using common household items. Solutions can range in complexity to suit ages 8 - 17 years old! A basic step by step assembly guide is included. Written by certified Technology Education teachers. Also, No Computer Required only Learning by Doing!

Children love carnival rides and now they get to design and construct their very own original model ride! This STEM Virtual Learning project engages at home students by challenging them to design and construct a carnival-style ride using common household items. Ideas can range in complexity to a simple swing ride to a roller coaster to a Ferris wheel (suitable for ages 8 - 15 years old). Written by certified Technology Education teachers. Also, No Computers Needed to complete only learning by

Great STEM distance learning project using only household items that is designed with endless solutions suitable for all ages. Rube Goldberg began his career as an engineer, and later became a cartoonist who drew elaborate illustrations of contraptions made up of pulleys, cups, birds, balloons, and watering cans that were designed to solve a simple task such as opening a window or setting an alarm clock. Students will come up with your Rube Goldberg Machine that completes a simple task throug

Zipline can be extreme and frightening but also fun and exciting! But, how do they work and how can we ensure their continued safety. This STEM Virtual Learning addresses those concerns and engages at home students by challenging them to design and construct their own ziplines by shooting their favorite action figure, stuffed animal, doll, etc down them. Students will use common household inexpensive items to build a zipline that can have various solutions that make this mission suitable for

Great for camps, clubs, or classrooms. Written by certified STEM teachers. Robotics and programming are certainly the future and the 21st century STEM student is better equipped to advance this technology than any other previous generations that preceded them.  They were born with cell phones, iPads, smart toys, and many other technologies that require coding and programming.  However, the 21st-century students lack the understanding of how to fabricate such technologies on a basic level.  The

Great for camps, clubs, or classrooms. Written by certified STEM teachers. 3D Prototyping will have a tremendous impact on our future! Package that content with Graphic Design and you have a curriculum that prepares students to solve real-world problems and market their innovative designs. A curriculum that has the potential to create inventors and entrepreneurs.  3D printing models and vinyl designs are a fun and exciting applications to teach 3D design software such as Tinkercad and Inventor

Great for camps, clubs, or classrooms. Written by certified STEM teachers. Engineering Design follows the Foundational STEM Concepts curriculum because it engages students (ages 8 - 15) in more challenging hands-on problem solving based projects which build upon prior knowledge learned in the foundation course.  Content such as DECIDER design process, structures, energy, and roller coaster physics are taught through engaging project-based learning.   Exciting real-world project include:  -Nerv

Great for camps, clubs, or classrooms. Written by certified STEM teachers. Foundations of STEM  engages students in hands-on problem solving based projects that provide students (ages 6-12) with foundational STEM concepts such as design (DECIDER design process), measurement, physics, engineering, prototyping, and technological innovation.   -Exciting real-world projects include: -Tallest Tower of Pong -Fantastic Futuristic Sneaker Design -Marble Madness Plunge -Reckless Robot Car -Sophisticate

This the first Mission as part of the Robotics: Fabrication and Programming Course Curriculum. DC Motors are everywhere, and students take for granted their importance. Inside those DC motors are electromagnets which are vital for the proper function of the DC motors. This mission is a great beginning project for any level of electricity or electronics course. There are a good deal of activities within the mission content preparation but none more important than the electrical safety lessons
