STEAM CHALLENGES

These are just a few examples, but check out what several of our EBL students (and their siblings) have created from the remote learning STEAM Challenges!

STEAM CHALLENGE #1: Create an indoor (or outdoor!) fort/hideout using blankets, pieces of furniture, other items you have around your house

Submitted by Emma & Wyatt
Engineering Notes & Reflection:
 1. What worked: The triangles, because they were stronger than the squares and rectangles.                                                                            
 2. What didn't work: The blankets without the clips and a little brother helping ;)

STEAM CHALLENGE #2: Create a boat, raft, or floating toy using items you have around your house. THEN test it's floating capabilities in your sink or bathtub.  See how much weight it can hold before sinking--for example, how many 6-peg-LEGO bricks it can hold before sinking, or how many pennies, crayons, spoons, etc.
