Give middle school students a structured way to explore real-world problems through hands-on design work. This STEAM book and supply kit helps educators lead Grades 6–8 learners as they plan, build, test, refine, and explain prototype solutions.
The kit includes a 152-page design-challenges resource book and assorted construction materials, including paper, wood, fiber, wire, feathers, modeling compound, rubber, and steel components. Lessons connect science, technology, engineering, art, and math and support the engineering design process through sketching, prototyping, discussion, revision, and solution justification.
Key Features:
- 152-page resource book: Provides guided design challenges that help educators organize hands-on middle school STEAM activities.
- Engineering design process practice: Helps students develop ideas, create blueprints, test prototypes, evaluate results, and improve their solutions.
- Assorted building materials: Gives learners varied materials for constructing and adapting prototypes during challenge activities.
- Integrated STEAM lessons: Encourages analytical, creative, collaborative, and reflective thinking across multiple subject areas.
- Grades 6–8 focus: Offers age-appropriate design challenges for middle school learners.
