STEM Challenge Build a Twirling Tower

Here’s a third great STEM challenge to help get a school year started with STEM and use those brand new school supplies- specifically pencils!

This challenge is available in money-saving bundles!

In this challenge, students will use a specific amount of pencils and a few other materials to build a tower. Here’s the hitch: Something on the tower has to twirl and have a specific purpose for the twirling. The groups will have to decide how and what will be twirling and a creative reason for it! You will be amazed at the creativity students display with the twirling apparatus!

• New pencils
• Cardstock
