Engineering Projects for Kids

Launched by MIT Sea Grant, the SeaPerch underwater robot allows students in grades 5-12 to engage in authentic science investigations and engineering challenges, encouraging a passion for engineering, science, and the aquatic environment. “SeaPerch has had a tremendous impact on the fields of ocean science and engineering,” says Andrew Bennett ’85, PhD ’97, MIT SeaGrant education administrator and senior lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. https://news.mit.edu/2025/seaperch-rob

A team of researchers, including members of MIT EECS and CSAIL, has created a program that can recreate the interaction functions of physical objects, such as the head motions of a bobblehead or the music on an iPod. The tool could assist in education, medical environments, museums, and more. https://news.mit.edu/2025/interecon-brings-personal-items-to-mixed-reality-0407 | MIT School of Engineering

MIT engineers play the long game because sometimes it can take decades to come up with a solution that works. Nuclear science and engineering is one of our longest bets, but its possible payoffs could save the planet. | MIT School of Engineering
