Antenna Rotator Gearing
Students will make observations and inferences about different gear ratios and types of gears. Students will rotate through different stations where they will first make individual observations and record them.
Build Your Own Pocket Microscope
This engineering design challenge will allow students to build their own structurally stable pocket microscope using basic materials that include glass beads, plastic straws, index cards, tape, binder clips, paper clips, and a light source (eventually integrate their cell phone cameras in a new c

Collaborative Design, Build & Deliver
The days of cookie cutter jobs and cookie cutter workers are rapidly ending. Automation and artificial intelligence will replace many jobs that exist today. The jobs that remain will require creativity, collaboration and flexibility – the so-called "21st-Century skills."

FLOW or NO
“To flow, or not to flow...that is the question?!” The world as we know it is more complex than just solids, liquids and gases. Consider liquids and ask yourself the question...
Fostering 21st Century Skills - Engineering Design Process/ STEM Challenge
During my fellowship at Lockheed Martin, I learned about critical communication skills and the engineering and design process in the creation of satellites. The goal of this ETP is to introduce and practice the engineering design process through a hands on STEM challenge.
Heat Treatment of Metals
The students will learn the basics of heat treating metals. The terminology, process used in heat treatment and finally they will participate in properly heat treating low carbon with the “pack method”.
Simulate Before You Desecrate
Students always want to see the results of their work immediately, and they move on to the next challenge as soon as they solve the problem once.
Stanford Biomimicry Challenge: Bioneer Tower
The goal of this ETP is to expose students to the Biomimicry process of using innovation from nature to solve problems. We will be using AskNature.org to identify a design principal (function in AskNature.org), which will be applied in the construction of a tower.
