    give them 4 sheets of a4 paper and pritt stick and get them to build a 10cm platform to hold as many house bricks as possible. I did this and held 8, using little tubes on end

    give them an egg, and get them to make a lander for it that will stop it cracking when dropped from a 1st floor window.

    give them paper and get them to build the longest flying paper planes.

    Give them 3 popstickle sticks and ask them to create a load bearing "floor" between 3 glasses.

    The assignment is to make an as high as possible tower.

    those people work really fast, i mean look every ten seconds they add another on
    Can you tell me which kind of engineering this is, my school offers architectural engineering, robotic engineering(includes engines and using code to command) , and aeronautical engineering

    Pansies. Get some plutonium and build a f**in' nuclear reactor. It's not exactly hard. I sketched my first reactor when I was in sixth grade!

    Or you could do ionocrafts. They're pretty badass too.

    There are 436 nuclear reactors operating today. In all of history, there have been two nuclear reactor incidents, only one a complete meltdown (which was caused by incredibly excessive incompetence bordering on deliberate sabotage). That gives a 218:1 chance of a nuclear accident. Not a very good chance.
