Rubber Band-it!
This lesson is designed because kids love to compete and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed. Students must use at least one rubber band, which is a prerequisite to submit their invention to the Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors. Whether or not you submit their work to the contest, STEM challenges are a win-win in your classroom or after school club!
