What You'll Get
Build your own box! Choose five of these projects:
- Creating Catapults: Assemble and test a catapult’s accuracy and then develop your own game.
- Creating Rolling Vehicles: Build, test, learn, and innovate with fold-up paper racers, and later add a balloon for jet power!
- Creating Truss Bridges: Construct an initial truss bridge out of craft sticks, and then design a longer one and test its load-bearing capabilities.
- Creating Inventions: Use the included materials to cycle through the engineering design process to first engineer a simple elevator and tractor pull, and later create your own invention!
- Creating Friction Climbers: Construct a simple climbing mechanism and learn how friction makes it seem to defy gravity!
- Creating Gliders: Gain a basic understanding of flight, and then construct and test a model hang glider.
- Creating Roller Coasters: With help from kinetic and potential energy, construct a marble roller coaster with unlimited design possibilities!
- Creating Zip Line Rockets: Create your own balloon-powered zip line rocket and analyze its performance.
- Creating Pneumatic Lifts: Understand how pneumatics and mechanisms work by constructing and operating such mechanisms!
- Creating Circuits: Experience the basics of electric circuits using graphite pencils and LEDs.
