Ultraviolet Light Shelter STEM Challenge (Solar Space Science & Engineering)

Created by

Ultraviolet Light Shelter Engineering Design Challenge: Updated with digital journals! Students are on a mission to protect an astronaut from ultraviolet light over-exposure in this engaging STEM challenge. Using UV-sensitive beads, students explore how different materials absorb UV light and use the engineering design process to build a UV-safe shelter. This design challenge allows students to work in teams, apply the engineering design process, and connect science topics to real-world applicat
