Each COSI Connects Engineer box is filled with engaging, hands-on STEAM activities. COSI’s education experts have created these activities to encourage and reinforce Ohio's Learning Standards. The instructions and materials needed are listed for each activity inside the engineer activity book.

Activity 1 - Aerospace Engineer - Aerospace engineers design and build components and systems for air and space. This includes planes, rockets, and satellites to name just a few! Today, as an engineer, your challenge is to design, build, and test the best glider.

Activity 2 - Chemical Engineer and Materials Engineer - Some engineers don’t build structures at all. Chemical engineers develop and design processes for manufacturing chemicals. They could be working with things like food, medicine, fuel or plastics to name a few. And materials engineers work with materials like metals, plastics, or ceramics; or they make new materials! You will be both a chemical engineer and a materials engineer as you design the perfect bubble solution and the perfect wand to go with it!

Activity 3 - Structural Engineer - Structural engineers create careful drawings and evaluations for buildings. They make calculations to ensure a building will be safe. Test your design skills and build structures out of paper!

Activity 4 - Marine Engineer - Some engineers design submarines and dive suits! Challenge yourself to create a submarine model that can keep neutral buoyancy for five seconds!

Activity 5 - Electrical Engineer - Electrical engineers design, build, test, and fix devices that use electricity. In this activity, design, build, and test your own miniature electric car!
