Top Activities in Engineering

Rating: 4 Box Up the Volume

Pitsco’s Packaging Design activity gets students into the box. Simple boxes are investigated, designed, and constructed using card-stock material. Ideal depth for maximum volume is found. Read More

Rating: 4 Egg-Drop Demo Derby

Create an egg-drop vehicle that rolls down a ramp into a wall and protects the egg from breaking. Determine the average velocity of your car and each car tested by the class. Read More

Rating: 4 Eggstra-terrestrial

Pitsco’s Egg-Drop Vehicles activity is an exploration into the realm of inventive processes. A vehicle for safely delivering an egg from a designated height, usually 8' to 12', is designed, constructed, and tested for effectiveness. Read More

Rating: 4 Shape Up 

Pitsco’s Straw Structures activity provides ultimate flexibility in simple structure design and modeling. Using only pipe cleaners and straws, students construct polyhedra, domes, bridges, and structures straight from their imaginations. Abstract concepts regarding shapes and structures become . . .

Rating: 4 Tessellation Creation 

Create a tessellation on card stock. After the tessellation is finished, use the Boxmaker to create a box with lid.

Rating: 4 Tower Power 

Pitsco’s Earthquake Towers activity involves the design and construction of an earthquake-resistant tower. The tower is constructed of 1/8" x 1/8" balsa wood strips.

Rating: 4 Tremor Table Tester 

Towers aren’t the only thing that can be tested using the Pitsco EQ s Tremor Table . Design an earthquake-resistant road and test it on the tremor table.

Rating: 3 Architectural Modeling 

Designing a building is a dream of many people. Students design and engineer a model building for both form and function.

Rating: 3 Cantilevered Structures 

Cantilevered structures such as cranes, bridges, and others are everywhere. In this competition, students engineer a cantilevered structure designed to hold the greatest amount of mass before breaking!

Rating: 3 Egg Drop Vehicles 

This competition is everything it's cracked up to be! Students love the challenge of designing and building a vehicle that safely carries an egg from a vertical drop of 10 feet – or more!
