Description
Moon Welcome Tower STEM Engineering Design Challenge
Your mission: Your astronaut crew has just landed on the Moon! Before you go out exploring, we need to build a welcome tower. The tower will include a light that will help guide your crew back to base. The activity includes building a circuit with a switch to turn on an LED light that is powered by a coin cell battery or solar panel.
Supports Distance Learning: An instructional video guides students through the design challenge along with an interview with a NASA systems integration engineer. Also include editable Google Slides for a digital or printed STEM Journal.
Science background: Students learn about the science of circuits and solar panels.
Engineering Challenge: Using common materials such as aluminum foil and construction paper, students design a tower to hold up a sign that has an LED light. A power source will be needed, either a coin cell battery or a 2V solar panel. A full teacher guide includes an instructional video, photos of student projects, and resources. The packet also includes handouts to guide your students through the engineering design process to solve the challenge.
STEM Real-World Connections: Background pages discussion relevant careers include Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, and Chemical Engineers. An overview of NASA's mission to Moon is included in handouts and in an instructional video featuring a NASA systems integration engineer.
As with many STEM activities that are student-driven, this challenge can be tailored to students of various skill levels and abilities.
