Engineering Design Challenge: Spacecraft Structures

Learn how to incorporate the excitement of rocketry into your classroom during web seminar and receive an overview of the student engineering design challenge, Spacecraft Structures, where students design and construct a strong but lightweight structure that can withstand the launch of a water bottle “rocket.” In the course of the seminar, you will see how scientific principles and the engineering design process used by NASA are applied to this activity. You will watch videos showing students engaged in the lesson and collaborate with other participants about possible modifications to the activity for various grade levels.
