CONTENTS
- 4 STEM Activities
- Tool Belt STEM challenge
- Cabin STEM activity
- Rowboat for ROZ
- Cozy Bed for Brightbill
- Two BONUS Activities
- Assemble ROZ! Students need to decode binary part numbers, then cut and paste ROZ back together (excluding the transmitter, of course, so she can make her escape!)
- Unplugged coding - Help ROZ navigate the underground with directional coding (or use the alternate provided as a maze activity).
- Recording Options: There are two different printable options (plus digital recording options) for recording the STEM challenge activities:
- Graphic organizer options
- Guided STEM activity sheets
- Printable Characters and More: This resource includes printable ROZ and Brightbill characters, as well as printable tools for the tool belt (though you are welcome to use toy tools or small regular tools).
***PLEASE READ***
The challenges included are open-ended challenges. That means there are not step-by-step instructions for students to follow to solve each challenge. Students should be familiar with the engineering design process so they can follow the steps to complete the challenges.
Encourage Critical Thinking, Perseverance, and Teamwork
While it can feel a bit unsettling to offer open-ended challenges, I find it crucial when facilitating STEM. This is to guarantee that there is critical thinking going on, and that you don't end up with 25 identical designs and prototypes where students are not actually working through the process.
It's Okay to Fail
This may mean that not all students end up with a successful, working prototype, and this is okay! Students can always go back to the drawing board and start again, ask for tips from peers, or at least attempt to understand why their ideas didn't work as expected. Modeling failure and a growth mindset reaction to it is something I encourage.
