This activity is a fun challenge for students who have just started learning to program educational robots.

This science fair project idea explores how length affects the weight a bridge can hold.

This activity challenges students to use computational thinking as they create a sequence of commands that will make a robot navigate around several obstacles.

In this open-ended activity, students will be given a small quantity of three types of materials and asked to design a prototype for “something that will improve the school.”

Show your fifth grader how to make this fun vinyl robot to spruce up her walls. Itâs quick to construct and easy to remove or transfer from wall to wall.
