STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- FERRIS WHEELS plus Primary Sources
In this GATE engineering journey, students will each construct a very cool Ferris wheel prototype as a final product. Along the way, they will examine primary source images, read primary source history, and integrate math, engineering, and economics in a learning process which incorporates best practices in gifted and talented education for 21st Century Learners.
This is a challenging engineering project—teacher guided. I used it for GATE 4th grade; however, my kids are experienced builders.

STEAM Kid Engineering -- The Playable Golf Course Design Unit for GATE
In this unit, students will build a contraption to hit a small, wooden golf ball through a scaled version of a golf course which they and their classmates have designed. They’ll make a trundle wheel for measuring and marking the course, write down their scores on a scorecard, design putters, and learn background in physics through their work in the engineering and design process.
The Playable Golf Course is not just fun. It’s a challenging engineering, design, and construction unit including

STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- Pendulum Wrecking Ball and Magnetic Crane
Come on . . . who doesn’t at least occasionally want to smash stuff?! Use this as an independent project for future engineers, for a smaller STEM group--or if you have a “shop” at your disposal--as a whole class project.
I used this with 5th grade GATE. It could be extended to experienced 4th grade engineers or up through 7th and 8th grade. The math concepts will be a big stretch for the younger kids but provide a healthy discussion. They’ll be right on target for our middle schoolers.

STEAM: Design Brief Engineering Around the World K-1
Kindergarteners and 1st graders explore STEAM principles while exploring and building structures from around the world. Students will see the structures with descriptions; be exposed to geography skills by finding the locations of those structures on a class map with the help of an adult; build their own structure; and fill out a design brief showing their finished structure and its measurements with non-standard measurements using Unifix cubes.
