Elementary School STEM Challenges that turn "Can I?" into "I Can!"

Get ready to build like never before! In this hands-on STEM lesson, students will master essential engineering techniques to create inventive and super sturdy structures. It’s not just about building—it’s about thinking like engineers, solving problems, and having a blast doing it. Let’s turn every “Can I?” into “I-Can!” through active learning and creative construction!

STEM Objectives

Master the art of building and develop a variety of creative and sturdy structures using these key techniques:

  1. Utilize Symmetry to achieve balance and stability
  2. Construct Wide Bases to provide a broader foundation that prevents tipping and ensures stability
  3. Create Strong Connections, such as T-Connection, Slotted T-Connection, and Cone Connection, to maximize structural integrity
  4. Apply Slotting to create movable parts and secure connections without tape
  5. Practice Material Management to creatively use limited resources efficiently

Quick and Easy!

  1. Lay Out Our Standard Set of Materials:
    • Students use the same communal materials across all 36 lessons, so you never need to assemble individual material kits!
    • Simply lay out our standard set of materials before each lesson and replenish individual materials as needed.
  2. Set Up Testing Stations (If Needed):
    • A few lessons require additional set up, such as creating a square with blue tape to use as a target area.
    • We include all special instructions in the Set Up and Tips for each module.
