STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- FERRIS WHEELS plus Primary Sources
In this GATE engineering journey, students will each construct a very cool Ferris wheel prototype as a final product. Along the way, they will examine primary source images, read primary source history, and integrate math, engineering, and economics in a learning process which incorporates best practices in gifted and talented education for 21st Century Learners.
This is a challenging engineering project—teacher guided. I used it for GATE 4th grade; however, my kids are experienced builders.

Credit Card Project -- How long does it really take to pay off the debt?
Every student should understand the ins and outs of credit cards and how easily people fall in the trap of interest payments. Students research their own credit cards, you act as the bank which approves a card, then the students pretend to max it out by buying a few "want" items. They create equations (or excel spreadsheets) to find how long it will take to pay off the debt. This project also goes into a few scenarios such as making a late payment or paying double the minimum required payment
