Thrill Ride O’Love STEM Challenge-Engineering a Shield Retrieval
by Rogina Taylor-Stevens
In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief". They will apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills to construct a functional and creative solution.
Encourage open-ended thinking and collaboration throughout the process. Emphasize the importance of teamwork, iterative design, and reflection to foster a growth mindset.
