Spring Break STEM Challenge

Next week is Spring Vacation, although for most of us, there will be no vacations taking place this year! And the snow falling outside today definitely makes it feel like winter still!  Now that you've had a couple days to get used to learning at home, I have a STEM design challenge for you!

Start with this video about engineers

Remember, engineers design things to solve problems.  So think about one of the problems or challenges you've noticed now that we're all learning from home.  Can you design something to solve that problem? 

Start by brainstorming:

• something to organize your supplies
• something to keep you comfortable while working at a table
• a privacy blocker to separate you and your siblings
• a system to deliver messages to your parents while you're working
• an iPad stand
• be creative! 

If you have the materials to create it at home, go for it!  If not, draw a diagram of your plan and label what materials you would use.  

Don't forget to send me a picture or a video!
