Students will gain an understanding of the difference between additive and subtractive manufacturing by creating a video of a prototype they will build using both methods.
Students will learn the foundations of cybersecurity and work together to analyze a variety of cybercrime scenarios. In addition, they will propose measures they might take to prevent each type of cybercrime from happening to them.
Help students learn that radiation exists all around people both in natural and manmade ways in this activity. Students will use digital and/or print resources to learn about ionizing and non-ionizing radiation along with the benefits/risks associated.
Students will learn about the vastness of opportunities in the engineering field by studying more in-depth about 2-3 specific careers, exposing them to new career paths they might consider.
Students will learn the positives and negative effects stress can have on the body. They will also learn the importance of managing their stress levels and practical tips for overall balance, health and wellbeing.
In this activity, students will explore a variety of real-world applications of machine learning and use the information to consider the potential advantages and disadvantages that come along with it.
Students will work together to evaluate the effects of collaborative efforts between doctors and robotic technology that is providing advancements in the healthcare atmosphere.
Students will use a life cycle audit to evaluate a product’s environmental impact on society by proposing design changes in order to reduce the negative impact it could have.
In this activity, students will investigate how robots work including robotic parts and explain how energy is transferred to make different parts move.

Students will explore the parts of a sound wave and learn about human reception of sound. Then, they will research and analyze the types of ultrasound before making a claim as to the most beneficial type to human health and well-being.
Working in groups, students will select a city and then use U.S. government census data to develop an algebraic relationship between time and population size.
Students explore the basic components of vehicle design and learn about the conditions affecting Mars rovers. They design an improved Mars rover by defining a problem and proposing a solution in the form of improved design elements.
Students will learn about the concept of low impact development: practices that use or copy natural processes such as absorption or evaporation to protect water quality.

Students model how a medication is filtered from the blood using colored water. They make predictions about how much medicine remains in a person’s system over time by comparing their predictions to observed data.
Students work together to build an algorithm for drawing a pixel picture using coordinate directions and color assignments on graph paper. Then, students follow the algorithms of other groups to create the images on a larger scale with post-it notes.
