Shoe Design STEM Challenge – Impact Protection Engineering | Grades K–8

Created by

STEM With Mr.B

In the Shock Absorbing Shoes STEM Challenge, students become materials and mechanical engineers as they design and build a miniature shoe or sole system that absorbs shock and reduces impact forces. Using simple classroom materials, students will explore how engineers protect athletes, astronauts, and everyday users from high-impact forces. This high-engagement, low-prep STEM activity is perfect for STEM labs, science classrooms, engineering units, substitute plans, and makerspaces and works
