From marine biology camp to hands-on lessons inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, there are plenty of fun, educational activities for kids to do at home right now. If you're looking to add more STEM learning to the mix, your kids can tackle 44 science and engineering challenges designed by Dyson engineers.
Created for kids ages seven and older, the James Dyson Foundation's free Challenge Cards are designed to get children excited about engineering. Featuring easy-to-follow instructions and required materials that can be found around the house, the challenges can all be completed at home.
With 22 engineering challenges and computer science vs computer programming, your kids can choose from tons of creative activities. For the Balloon Car Race challenge, they'll make and race a car, using just a balloon, a plastic cup, straws, thread and rubber bands. Spaghetti Bridges is another fun engineering challenge in which kids try to build a bridge made of spaghetti that's strong enough to hold a pack of sugar. The Marble Run challenges kids to use cardboard to create a run that will keep the marble moving for a minute.
