Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Imagine how cool it would be to build a robot hand that could grasp a ball or pick up a toy. In this robotics engineering project, you will learn how to use drinking straws, sewing thread, and a little glue to make a remarkably lifelike and useful robot hand. What will you design your robot hand to do? Pick up a can? Move around a ping pong ball? It is up to you! With these starting instructions, you can design any type of hand. You will simulate human finger anatomy as the basis for a… Read more

How Much Weight Can Your Boat Float?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Have you ever wondered how a ship made of steel can float? Or better yet, how can a steel ship carry a heavy load without sinking? In this science project you will make little "boats" out of aluminum foil to investigate how their size and shape affects much weight they can carry and how this relates to the density of water.

Build a Miniature Self-Driving Car

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

How do self-driving cars stay on the road? How do vehicles with autonomous or driver-assist features automatically brake, steer around obstacles, or perform tasks like adaptive cruise control? Experiment with these behaviors and more in this science project as you build and program your own autonomous Arduino robot. Read more

Build a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for Underwater Exploration

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Have you ever wanted to explore cold or murky water? What about places where it could be dangerous or difficult for humans to swim? Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) allow humans to take pictures, videos, and scientific samples of underwater life and habitats while safely operating the vehicle from a boat or from shore. In this project you will design and build your own small ROV that you can test in a bathtub, pool, or nearby body of water. Read more

The Dynamics of a Bouncing Ball

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Many sports use a ball in some way or another. We throw them, dribble them, hit them, kick them, and they always bounce back! What makes a ball so bouncy? In this experiment you can investigate the effect of air pressure on ball bouncing. Read more

Dealing with Diabetes: The Road to Developing an Artificial Pancreas

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Imagine if you had to take medicine every time you ate, and you had to use a math formula to figure out how much medicine to take based on the nutritional makeup of the food, how you were feeling, and what activities you were planning to do. You might also need extra medicine throughout the day (even in the middle of the night) based on your blood glucose levels. People with diabetes who take insulin do this every day. They use finger sticks and blood glucose meters or a continuous glucose… Read more

Build a Jumping Robot

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Can you build a robot that hops like a frog? In this engineering project, you will learn how to build a simple robot that uses the energy stored in a stretched rubber band to jump. You will use the engineering design process to try to make your robot jump higher and farther. How far can you make it jump? Read more

Build a Robotic Arm

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Robotic arms have many uses, ranging from assembling things in factories to collecting soil samples on Mars to acting as prosthetics (artificial limbs) for humans. If you have ever wanted to build your own robotic arm, this project will guide you through the basics of designing and building a simple one. You can use this design as a starting point to design your own robotic arm and add your own features. Read more

Do Submarines Need Fins?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

What keeps a submarine from spinning out of control? In this science project, you can investigate how submarines use stabilizing fins to move forward. You might even figure out the secrets to maneuvering a submarine! Read more

Build a Simple Drone and Test How Much It Can Lift

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

How does weight affect a drone's speed? Is there a limit to how much weight a drone can lift? Find out with your own mini popsicle stick drone in this fun science project! Read more
