Description
Before tasking students to complete rigorous engineering design challenges, educators should start with Stage 1 STEM activities. Click here to learn more about the Stages of STEM.
Stage 1 STEM activities are perfect icebreakers and team challenges to promote collaboration, teamwork, communication, and problem solving. They lay a critical
foundation for more intensive STEM challenges. Working as a team, students will learn lessons in communication, innovation, hidden assumptions, and creativity that are central to the engineering process.
This packet contains 5 teamwork challenges that are great for back to school or as icebreakers for a new group of students. The 6th activity is a more in-depth engineering design challenge that uses the complete design process. This activity can be used to set the stage for more rigorous Stage 2 design challenges.
