	Lesson: Spaghetti Anyone? Building with Pasta (Grades K-8) – 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.
	Lesson: Planetary Pasta Rovers (Grades 3-8) – 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.
	Lesson: Touchdown (Grades 3-8) – 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.
