My Project

Please help to give my students some fun engineering activities for the end of the school year. We have been learning about Structural and Mechanical Engineers in STEM class. The students have already built towers and bridges.

They would love to build different types of vehicles in the class.

Students will be working in groups of two and three to complete these LEGO kits. I know they will be able to work cooperatively with their peers. I hope they learn all about the parts of different vehicles through these STEAM Lab challenges. In order to encourage student participation, I would also like to provide them with granola bar snacks!

Grades 6-8
  • PS 207 Rockwood Park
