Fling Flyer Design Challenge
Engineers use their imaginations to solve problems. They invent and build things. Work like an engineer to create a Fling Flyer, an airplane made with GoldieBlox, and explore what keeps it and other things, like birds, planes, and space ships, in the air. Learn about forces that affect flight Design and build a Fling Flyer Test your…
Leap Bot Design Challenge
Every day you see a problem an engineer has solved. They design bridges so your car can cross a river, planes so you can fly to another place, and really tall buildings for lots of people to work or live in. To solve problems and create products that work, engineers have to think about all…
