STEAM Maker Challenge Cards & Extensions (A4 Size)

Maker Challenge Cards for STEAM and Language Development

These cards include 6 challenges that can be done with a variety of simple materials, individually, in pairs, or in small groups. They can be used in many different ways, such as:

A warm-up to begin class

Group collaboration projects

Independent learning at a mini maker station during free choice time

Activities to introduce or expand on target language or topics

A hands-on experience that helps students make real-world connections

Each challenge has an optional extension card, which can be attached as a reverse side, or saved for later. These extensions offer three prompts to pick and choose from, promoting critical thinking, design skills, and oracy. They can also easily connect to or enhance lessons in other areas, such as ELA*, Social Studies, Science*, Art, and Math*.
