STEM Challenge Wheel

STEM challenges thrive on a constraint and a starting point, and a wheel gives both. Spin for a build — the tallest tower, a bridge that holds a book, an egg-drop lander — and hand teams the materials and a time limit. The challenge that lands sets the goal; the students figure out the how. Edit the list to your materials and age group.

STEM Challenge Wheel questions

What materials do these need?

Most run on paper, tape, craft sticks, string, and other cheap supplies. Edit the list to challenges that fit whatever your makerspace or classroom has on hand.

How do I judge the results?

Each challenge has a built-in measure — tallest, farthest, holds the most. Agree the test up front so teams design toward a clear, fair goal.
