Description
STEM CHALLENGE: Students will absolutely love this hands-on, engaging, inquiry activity! Challenge your students to engage in the engineering & design process as they work as a team to keep a self-designed boat afloat while carrying freight (pennies)!
This activity is very versatile and can easily be used as part of a larger unit or as a stand-alone team building or maker space activity.
>>Use as Maker Space: Challenge your students to create by using teamwork to solve problems
