Building With Pasta – Students use the engineering design process to build a structure to handle the greatest load and gain first-hand experience with compression and tension forces. Planetary Pasta Rovers – Using only pasta and glue, students design a rover that will travel down a one-meter ramp and then travel an additional one meter on a smooth, flat surface. Touchdown – Students design and build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two "astronauts" when they land. This free workshop is offered through the NASA/JPL Educator Resource Center, which provides formal and informal educators with NASA resources and materials that support STEM learning.
