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 hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete and will be timed. Math
In this engaging lesson, students will research and design rhythm sticks. They will use them in music and PE class to exercise and create music with. This hands-on lesson incorporates multiple areas
Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and
