NASA Engineering Design Challenges

NASA has a number of interesting design challenges at the the URL: http://edc.nasa.gov/ Some of them can be done in one day while others take longer. We did the Thermal Protection System (heat shield) challenge in our Summer Space Science Camp and the students really liked the activity. NASA has students and teacher handouts that can be printed on the challenges page at the URL: http://edc.nasa.gov/challenge.html
I hope you enjoy these STEM activities with your class!
