Length: 50–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

A CHAIR FOR MY MOTHER: TOY CHAIR DESIGN

SOLVE IT! | Engineering + Math + Art

Every good design begins with a need. Young builders create a chair for a small toy or character and investigate size, fit, balance and stability as they turn simple materials into a useful solution.

Ages: 3–6
Length: 50–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

NOT A BOX: CARDBOARD INVENTION

CREATE IT! | Engineering + Art + Literacy

A box can become almost anything when imagination takes over! Young inventors transform everyday cardboard and recycled materials into an original creation with a purpose all their own.

Ages: 3–6
Length: 45–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

ROSIE'S WALK: UNPLUGGED CODING PATH

CODE IT! | Technology + Engineering + Math

Help Rosie find her way! Young coders create step-by-step directions using arrows and movement commands, then test their algorithm and fix—or “debug”—it when Rosie doesn't end up where they expected.

Ages: 3–6
Length: 45–55 minutes
Supplies: Included

TWENTY-ONE ELEPHANTS: BRIDGE LOAD CHALLENGE

BUILD IT! | Engineering + Math + Science

How much weight can a bridge really hold? Junior engineers design and construct a bridge, test its load capacity and use what they discover to strengthen their design.

Ages: 7–10
Length: 50–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

MAE AMONG THE STARS: LUNAR LANDER CHALLENGE

MOVE IT! | Engineering + Science + Math

Mission: safe landing! Young engineers design a lunar lander that can protect its “astronaut” during touchdown. They'll test impact, evaluate their results and redesign based on what they discover.

Ages: 7–10
Length: 55–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

WHOOSH!: INVENTION-ITERATION CHALLENGE

SOLVE IT! | Engineering + Technology + Literacy

Inventors rarely get everything right on the first try. Inspired by inventor Lonnie Johnson, students identify a challenge, create a prototype, test their idea and use what they learn to improve their invention.

Ages: 7–10
Length: 50–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

ONE PLASTIC BAG: UPCYCLE DESIGN

CREATE IT! | Engineering + Environmental Science + Art

Waste becomes a design opportunity in this creative challenge. Students explore upcycling and human impact as they transform reclaimed materials into something new, useful and uniquely their own.

Ages: 7–10
Length: 50–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

COUNTING ON KATHERINE: SPACE-NAVIGATION ALGORITHM

CODE IT! | Technology + Math + Literacy

Space travel takes more than a rocket—it takes precise instructions! Inspired by mathematician Katherine Johnson, young coders create algorithms that navigate a space-themed grid, test their commands and debug errors along the way.

Ages: 7–10
Length: 50–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF: BRIDGE CHALLENGE

BUILD IT! | Engineering + Math + Science

The goats need to cross—but first they need a bridge! Builders work at their own level to design and construct a stable crossing. Younger engineers explore basic construction while older builders can take on added challenges involving measurement, strength and load.

Ages: 3–10
Length: 50–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

JABARI TRIES: MARBLE MAZE CHALLENGE

MOVE IT! | Engineering + Science + Math

Can you design a maze that gets from start to finish? Younger builders create and test a simple pathway while older builders can add turns, obstacles and additional design constraints. Everyone gets the chance to test, troubleshoot and try again.

Ages: 3–10
Length: 55–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

 HOW TO CATCH A STAR: REACHING TOOL CHALLENGE

SOLVE IT! | Engineering + Science + Math

The star is out of reach, and every builder needs a solution! Younger children create a simple tool for reaching the star while older engineers can investigate length, efficiency and design constraints as they improve their inventions.

Ages: 3–10
Length: 50–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

 NOT A BOX: CARDBOARD INVENTION

CREATE IT! | Engineering + Art + Literacy

It's not a box—so what could it be? Builders of every age transform cardboard and recycled materials into original inventions. Younger creators can focus on imagination and construction while older students add function, purpose and more complex design features.

Ages: 3–10
Length: 45–60 minutes
Supplies: Included

ROSIE'S WALK: UNPLUGGED CODING PATH

CODE IT! | Technology + Engineering + Math

Guide Rosie safely through her journey using code! Younger learners practice directions and simple command sequences while older coders create longer algorithms, add obstacles and debug their programs when Rosie takes a wrong turn.

Ages: 3–10
