In this activity, design and construct a LEGO brick wall that is at least 4 inches high. The wall must be capable of withstanding the “flick test” (a simple flick of the finger).

In this activity, design and construct an NXT car or snail which is capable of traveling extremely slowly. The cars compete in a snail race with the last car to cross the finish line crowned as the winner.

In this activity, design and construct an NXT house which utilizes sensors. For example, have the house greet oncoming cars by turning the house lights on.

In this activity, design and construct three RCX cars and program them to run a relay race. Each car is programmed to start the next car on its team by using the Mail function in ROBOLAB.

Program a car equipped with a rotation sensor to return to its original place no matter how far it is rolled away from the origin. Attain this goal by using both on-off control and proportional control.

Get an NXT car to follow a square path while driving.

Get an RCX car to follow a square path while driving.

Is it possible for humans to survive on Mars? Help mankind take a giant step in this information gathering process by constructing a rover that has a wide array of remote sensing capabilities and sending it to the red planet to collect data.

Students will construct a sturdy chair for a stuffed-animal bear. The chair must be able to support the bear from the front, sides and back. Ultimately, the chair must keep Mr. Bear in a sitting position without him falling out of the chair.

Students will investigate the properties of sturdy structures by constructing a LEGO wall. The wall must be about 6 bricks high and withstand the "Flick Test". The Flick Test involves flicking the top of the wall to see if the wall fails or tips over.
