Thrill Ride O’Love STEM Challenge-Engineering a Shield Retrieval
In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief". They will apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills to construct a functional and creative solution.
Encourage open-ended thinking and collaboration throughout the process. Emphasize the importance of teamwork, iterative design, and reflection to foster a growth mindset.

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
In this hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete and will be timed. Math
