FREE Maker Mat - An Engineering Design Challenge Tool for STEAM Activities
The Maker Mat is a fan favorite resource my K-8 teaching teams love no matter what state I teach in. I created the mat almost 10 years ago and have been tweaking and using it ever since in every distinct classroom I enter! Classrooms as young as K and as old as 8th grade love this guiding template as it allows students to work independently through the engineering design process no matter what the design challenge is. It anchors learners as they organize their ideas, plan, and reflect on their
