Did you know you can do a great STEM challenge with just some copy paper?

Can you build a picker upper device out of copy paper that can pick up items?

Paper Picker Upper Challenge

Materials Needed: (per person)

- copy paper (any color)

- something to pick up (ping pong balls, plastic eggs, cardboard tubes, etc.)

- tape

- scissors

STEM Challenges are a way to get your kids thinking and building at the same time! These challenges use minimal materials and can be used as a way to improve your students’ communication and building skills in individual and team challenges. There are really fun, but challenging projects. The challenge for this one is to make a paper picker upper to pick up a specific item (teacher's choice). It is always fun to bring a connection of unusual topics and STEM engineering challenges inside the classroom! The kids can learn a lot about engineering through these hands-on learning and experiences!

Get engineering!
