A speed run through some of the exciting science and engineering projects I have created for children. All of these projects come with friendly step-by-step videos, materials and parts lists, and easy-to-follow diagrams and templates. Most materials are simple household or recycled items, and can be purchased inexpensively.

Animated explainer video about the life cycle of Arctic ice and how it is being affected by climate change.

A complex project that leverages levers and takes advantage of mechanical advantage. Builders experiment with hydraulic pistons and practice fabricating intricate assemblies.

This project emphasizes modularity, combining lessons on electrical circuits and motors with what builders have already learnt about simple machines. A touch of 3D design allows them to create interesting bodywork for a robust vehicular platform.

Newton's third law comes alive with this simple but powerful propeller-powered car.

Beginning builders get an introduction to working with materials and designs, whlie learning about sea-life, light and magnet.
