What materials do I need?

You can build with recyclables or craft materials like popsicle sticks, index cards, construction paper. You can even use reusable materials like LEGO or blocks. Use anything you have around! 

How long does each challenge take?

Personally, my students complete challenges in our 45-minute class period. You can spread this out over several days, so students plan more in depth or complete it in one sitting.

HOW I USE THIS AS A STEM TEACHER:

I teach 360 students each week in grades K through 4th, so I created these Summer End of the Year themed stem activities to be able to easily set up, use reusable materials, and need low copying! I can adjust response sheets and challenges to meet each grade level. I need something quick and easy for me, yet engaging and challenging for my students! I hope your students enjoy these as much as mine do! :)
