In this one-time class, learners will apply their STEM skills to design and build an obstacle course for their favorite cars. We will start with a show and tell, where each learner will have the opportunity to show classmates their favorite cars and explain why they like them. Then, we get to building! Each student will design and build a fun obstacle course for their cars using wrapping paper rolls, cardboard, and tape. After building and testing, everyone will get a chance to spotlight their creation for everyone to see! Testing their creation as they build will give students insight into the design process that engineers use. It will also build resilience as they learn from mistakes to improve their design.
Learning Goals
Students will applying the engineering design process and sharpen their STEM skills (science, technology, engineering, math).
