Grade Level Middle and High (6-12)

From site: The Engineering Design Challenges Program connects students in their classrooms with the challenges faced by NASA engineers as they design the next generation of space vehicles, habitats and technology. Middle and High School students work on design challenges with their teachers. These design challenges help students achieve national goals in science, mathematics, and thinking skills.

Working under the supervision of their teachers, students design, build, test, re-design, and re-build models that meet specified design criteria. Students employ the same analytical skills as engineers as they improve their designs. The design challenge culminates in the classroom with each student team preparing a poster that describes the process and results of their work.

The Engineering Design Challenge program has been designed as an integral part of classroom work. Teachers who wish to participate in the program with their students should download the Educator Resource Guide for the challenge they wish to conduct and use it as a guide for carrying out the challenge with their students.

Visit the website: How Everyday Things are Made
Free
Grade Level All Ages (K-12)

From site: If you've ever wondered how things are made - products like candy, cars, airplanes, or bottles - or if you've been interested in manufacturing processes, like forging, casting, or injection molding, then you've come to the right place.

AIM has developed an introductory website for kids and adults showing how various items are made. It covers over 40 different products and manufacturing processes, and includes almost 4 hours of manufacturing video. It is targeted towards non-engineers and engineers alike. Think of it as your own private online factory tour, or a virtual factory tour, if you wish.

Grade Level Elementary and Middle (K-8)

Build robots to do your chores.  You need to select the correct parts and energy source for each robot and task.  Your robots will take out the trash, vacuum the floor and wash the dishes.  After you build each robot, you test it in the simulator to see if it's up to to the task or suffers a meltdown.  If your robot doesn't make the grade, you must rebuild it.
