STEM Kid Engineering -- GR8 Gliders and Blueprints

Created by

Mark Hess & Portable Gifted and Talented

In the GR8 Glider project, students build background knowledge about falling objects and drag, experiment with paper gliders and spinning cylinders, and then interpret “Wimpy Kid-style” blueprints to construct a very cool, large glider made from thin dowels and trash bags. Appropriate for grades 3rd-6th—included are printable blue-prints, additional teacher photos and instructions, and a full lesson. This lesson is GR8 for an extra building activity, STEM-centered classrooms, and Gifted and Ta

SURVIVOR Challenge SPY Training STEM STEAM for GATE 4th to 8th Grades

Created by

Mark Hess & Portable Gifted and Talented

Talking about too fun for school! I had 4th and 5th graders skipping recess for this one! Let’s combine an engineering challenge, physics background, creativity and engineering, and three dimensional building skills to create a Survivor-type challenge and training for professional spies. Here we have the engineering process--complete and in miniature! Note: This activity is a part of our bigger Spies unit. Watch for the unit to be published this spring. It is going to be recess-skipping co

Aero Engineers Drone Engineering Lab and STREAM Program

Created by

Chasity Keulemans

AERO ENGINEERS is a mission-based Drone Engineering STREAM Program designed to introduce students in Grades 4–6 to aerospace engineering, flight operations, teamwork, problem solving, and the engineering design process through hands-on learning experiences. WE use EC300 Drones that are built with LEGO Technic Like pieces. These drones are very affordable (about $50.00). Students work in collaborative flight teams as they build, test, fly, analyze, redesign, and improve a series of classroom dro

Arctic Dogsled Racing Design Challenge - STEAM for Upper Elementary

Created by

Mark Hess & Portable Gifted and Talented

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
