Space & Rocket Launch Challenge | STEM Project Based Learning Unit | Engineering
Your students are not bored because science is “too hard.” They are bored because too many science lessons make them sit, listen, and fill in worksheets instead of actually thinking, building, testing, and solving problems. This Space & Rocket Launch Challenge changes that. Instead of another forgettable lesson, your students become aerospace engineers with a real mission: design, build, test, improve, and present a classroom-safe rocket using the engineering design process. That means higher
