Plan a Mars Colony — Science/STEAM Project: Research, Design, Budgeting + Rubric
Launch a high-engagement Science/STEAM project where students design a sustainable Mars colony. Teams research Mars realities (thin CO₂ atmosphere, extreme cold, dust storms, radiation), then solve for water, oxygen, food, shelter, and energy. They create labeled diagrams, manage a credit-based budget, and (optionally) build 3D or digital models before presenting and defending their plan. Cross-curricular hits include math (budgeting/scale), ELA (presentation), tech/art (models). A clear ru

TinkerCad Project
This project is a great introductory project to TinkerCad and goes through all the basics for students to practice and then use those skills to make a object of their own. Students start out learning what TinkerCad calls "starters" which go through the basic operations of the program and how to do things like combine shapes and move shapes around. Once they are done with those they are asked to create their own object using their new skills. They are then asked to reflect on their work by fillin

Economy Based Mousetrap Car Project
Note: I have provided a web link inside the project outline showing you how to build a mousetrap car, but as this is an engineering desing challenge I usually let my kids build whatever they can dream up using provided equipment.
This activity will allow you to set up an economy based challenge for your students, but does not give you step-by-step instructions for building the cars. Your kids will need to use their imaginations (and/or the internet) in order to do that.

Egg Drop STEM Project
This is a great STEM Egg Drop project geared towards middle school. Students will go through the engineering process to brainstorm, design, build, and finally test their reentry vehicles (egg drops). Did I mention that students will have a budget and will be restricted to only a few, easily available materials? Students will record and analyze data as well. This project makes learning science and apply math fun.

Tinkercad Project 2: Make a Cookie Cutter
This is the second Tinkercad project I have students complete. The first lesson, making a sideless cube, is free on my TPT site, so I highly suggest you get and teach that lesson first. Both lessons cover the same skills; however, this second lesson allows students to explore what was already taught at their own pace. It reviews basic skills necessary for all other projects. Use this lesson to teach yourself how to make a cookie cutter. Then print this out (one or two slides per page–color is h

Tinkercad Project #1: Make a Sideless Cube
About Teaching CAD to Elementary StudentsTeaching CAD to elementary students is harder than learning it yourself. You’ll quickly discover that students have a wide range of skills, abilities, and understandings. Some will catch on quickly while others need one-on-one guided help. So much of what they will be required to do is new that it can be overwhelming. This is even more the case when students are absent. After having taught CAD for over seven years, I’ve figured out a way to make the lesso
