Can your students design a model of the Brooklyn Bridge?
Celebrate Women in STEM by learning about Emily Roebling, the secret engineer behind the Brooklyn Bridge.
This Brooklyn Bridge STEM Challenge is a fun and unique way to engage your students during Women's History Month and teach them that anyone can be a successful positive influence regardless of gender.
Literacy Integration:
Students begin the activity by reading about Emily Roebling and learning about bridges. It's a perfect Read Aloud companion activity to Secret Engineer by Rachel Dougherty.
The Engineering Design Process:
Students plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't. They follow the six step Engineering Design Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Experiment, Improve.
Informative Writing Extension:
After students complete the STEM Challenge, students write about what they learned about Emily Roebling.
Aligns with NGSS and Common Core.
Amazing resource for STEM club, STEM teachers, elementary librarians, parents who love hands-on learning, and elementary teachers who want to create a hands-on educational environment in their classroom!
