These activities provide a starting point. There are 1,000s of hands-on engineering activities and projects on the internet. Many include step-by-step instructions and video tutorials as well as detailed diagrams and photos of the final products.
Most of the activities assume that a grown-up – parent, teacher, youth group leader will assemble the materials, deliver the instructions and provide guidance. A few encourage experimentation and individual work. We are always on the look-out for activities that kids can do themselves, but there are surprisingly few projects that are presented as kid-directed activities.
