STEM Kid Engineering -- Span the Gorge Secret Spy Adventure Challenge
In the Span the Gorge Secret Spy Adventure challenge, students launch their careers as secret spies and then solve an engineering challenge to save the day.
A vintage primary source postcard launches the mystery for our 21st Century Learners. Students will use logic interpretive skills (which include translating vintage cursive handwriting) and Internet and Computer Technology skills to “crack a code” and solve a mystery. Next, in a collaborative effort (Common Core skills in Language), stude

Python Coding For Beginners | Debugging & Errors Project | Level 2
In this interactive Python debugging challenge, students step into the role of a Coding Club tasked with fixing a broken pricing system for a school Hot Cocoa Stand before the winter concert begins. As they investigate realistic code errors, students practice identifying logic mistakes, tracing values, and debugging Python programs that affect real-world outcomes like pricing and totals. What Students Will Doanalyze Python code snippets to identify logic and syntax errorsfix bugs involving condi

SPIES! A GATE Adventure 18+ Contact Hours - Challenging and Engaging!
Your students will ask to stay in from recess for this. It is the most popular unit I've taught in 32 years, and it is packed with challenging critical thinking. We imagine students are training at the school for spies: mini survivor challenges, mini crossbows, a jewel heist, footprint mysteries, memory games, cipher disks, case files, messages hidden in gel caps. This unit is STEM and critical thinking at its coolest and finest, and we’ve thrown in reading, speaking and listening, and a social

Arctic Dogsled Racing Design Challenge - STEAM for Upper Elementary
Here’s an applied engineering challenge in which—just like in the real world of engineering—a poor design means limited success or even failure.
In the Iditarod Sled Challenge, students apply their background knowledge of physical science and use logic and imagination to construct a miniature sled that will deliver “serum” to Nome, Alaska, just like Balto once did.
Use this challenge in conjunction with your study of the arctic or the Iditarod--or as a stand-alone engineering challenge for the

The Crane Design and Building Challenge -- STEM Problem Solving
A best practice lesson for the teaching of physical science or GATE talent pools:
In this lesson, students use the engineering process to build a working crane model that is strong enough to lift a stapler.
There are no set patterns, pre-cut materials, or teacher-led building instructions here! Students engage in the engineering process to design and build their own working models of cranes. The teacher sets guidelines and limitations, provides feedback and monitors progress, instructs the
