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.

This is a fun and engaging lesson where students work individually, or with a partner, to build a treehouse. Creativity and collaboration among students in my 4th grade STEAM Club were evident in the
Treehouse Design
Students will research, design and build a treehouse using the engineering design process. They will practice budgeting by pretending to have $100 to spend by using a supply budget sheet. Students
In this lesson, students focus on the engineering design process to help them design, build, and test a functional bow and arrow system like the character Brian Robeson in the book "Hatchet". Students
