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!

This inviting lesson works in elementary/middle school classes. It’s ideal for independent centers & enrichment clubs. Additional challenges are easy to add. Check out my student Building Permit
This lesson will explore the idea of circuits as the students wire the components of a together to create a working wobble-bot.
In this lesson students will create a model to investigate how a location's temperature may change during an El Niño year. Students will construct landforms in a tray and then fill the tray with water
