STEM Challenges - This STEM Bundle is on sale for 50% off! This HUGE STEAM challenge bundle challenges designed for use throughout the entire year! Your students will solve a given problem while learning to cooperate with other students. The challenges incorporate a budget aspect for "buying" the needed supplies. Each STEM challenge encourages creative thinking. Your student engineers must use the available supplies while sticking to a budget for each STEM activity.

Suggested Plan of Implementation for each STEAM:

Prior Week: Send home the parent letter requesting supplies. Gather needed materials.

Day One – Introduce and discuss “The Problem” slide. Discuss the “Let’s Talk About It – ” slide. Introduce the STEM Challenge.

Day Two – Introduce and discuss the budget options. Use the planning page to illustrate or write out the building idea.

Day Three – “Purchase” supplies for the build. Work on budget. Begin the building process.

Day Four – Work on and complete the structure.

Day Five – Test the structure. Complete the Self-Evaluation Page

"WOW! I've been using STEM projects in my classroom for several years. I'm always on the lookout for great projects. My search is OVER! I LOVE everything about these projects! I love the consistent organization from project to project. I love that you included a budget requirement for each one to tie in math. I love the student-friendly recording sheets. I love that EVERYTHING needed for each project, including the background information, is included! The information (Let's Talk About It) slides are beautiful! I was hesitant to buy the whole bundle without trying one first, but decided to take the chance and I'm so glad I did! Worth EVERY penny! THANK YOU!"
