You’ve heard of Engineers, I’m sure. But, what are Engineers?

In this activity, students design and build a balloon-powered car for play or to compete in a performance challenge.

In this activity, students design and build electric toy Rovers that run on monorail tracks.

Cam toys (aka automata) use hand-powered mechanisms to create cyclical motions that animate a scene.

Zip up! Watch as Deysi explains how the different parts of a zipper work together to open and close a piece of fabric.

Bring students on a virtual tour of the ins and outs of electronic and hybrid vehicles to compare and contrast the amount of copper with a gas fuel vehicle.

Students will be transported into a mine site to explore the different careers, technology and equipment used during the copper extraction, processing and refinement phases of mining.

Put your students at the cutting-edge of smart tech and sustainable innovation with Conservation Station’s Internet of Things: Infinite Possibilities Virtual Field Trip launching on World Environment Day!

This Virtual Field Trip will provide students with an all-access pass to The Tech Interactive’s most exciting exhibits AND a road trip to one of the most famous sites in California: Silicon Valley.

Using field guides or the Internet, study different birds.

At the third stop on our road trip series, we coast in for a pit stop and check out car design.

On the first leg of our road trip, we’re exploring the history of engines and how they work, with a little help from Car Talk’s Ray Magliozzi.
