A Pig Parade is a Terrible Idea: STEM Challenge
by Luz-Maria Van Daam
In this fun lesson, students will develop a simple sketch and a physical model of a float to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. They will then code robots to attach to the float. Students will interpret data to state which design was a better choice of materials and performance.
