Materials Needed:

You won't need many expensive materials to complete the STEM activities. Most challenges use recyclable items and everyday household supplies such as cardboard, paper, craft sticks, string, and natural materials like leaves. For one challenge, you will need magnets, and I have included two good options from Amazon in the Teacher Guide for the Suitcase Maze challenge.
