Weekly Topics



Launch your imagination to new heights as you explore aerospace engineering! Discover the secrets of working in space-efficiency and compact design. Create a trussed space station module. Then, connect it with others to create a massive modular spacecraft. Take-home: Astro Lander



Feel the thrill as you build a spinning swing ride! Learn about the forces and mechanical engineering concepts behind some of your favorite amusement park rides. Then, improve and test the design to create an even wilder ride. Take-home: Viking Ship



Discover nature’s engineering secrets as we investigate biomimicry! We can learn a lot about efficient design from observing plants and animals. Build a walking insect machine then test different ways to help it climb up the steepest branch. Take-home: Peacock Puzzle



Get in gear as an automotive engineer! Build a motorized vehicle and learn how to optimize it. Use wheels, axles and gears to reduce friction and improved its efficiency. Then, shift things into a higher gear to get a hands-on understanding of transmissions and gear ratios. Take-home: Hovercraft XS



Reach for the sky! Find out how structural engineers use ideas from physics to solve problems. Work together to build a structurally sound tower with a working elevator. Then, test and improve your design for strength and stability. Take-home: Sky Beams



Create a sea-worthy vessel as you set sail with nautical engineering! Build and test a boat powered by potential and kinetic energy. Then, try changing specific variables to improve speed, buoyancy, and stability. Take-home: Wave Rider



How can you build the strongest bridge? Work together with your fellow civil engineers to build and test different bridge designs. Then, use what you’ve learned to create the strongest bridge possible. Take-home: Truss Bridge



Engineering is creative! Learn how gears, levers, and pulleys are useful tools for mechanical engineers. Then, combine them with art and design to create and test a motorized drawing machine. Take-home: Sky Roller
