Rubber Band-it! - Contest for Young Inventors
This lesson was designed because students love to compete, and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed.
Students must use at least one rubber band, which is a prerequisite to submit their invention to the Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors. Whether or not you submit their work to the contest, STEM challenges are a win-win in your classroom or after school club!

In this lesson students will be creating a geometric design to create a stained-glass window. They will then assemble the window with pretzel rods, royal icing and melted Jolly Ranchers. Students can
This is part 3 of a unit. Links to the first 2 lessons are included. This lesson focuses on building the base for the Ferris wheel. Students are encouraged to design and create a base that is wide
Students will understand the principles of creative problem-solving and innovation by designing wacky inventions. They will collaborate, think critically, and use the engineering design process to
