Overview
Inspired by real STEM challenges in the library makerspace and classroom, this series gives K-2 readers the building basics for a variety of projects, including towers, boats, bridges, traps, and marble runs. These projects in turn support physical science concepts of forces and motion, energy, buoyancy, and simple machines. A kid-friendly inquiry approach mimics student questions, leading to simple, clear answers for grades K-2. Fun STEM Challenges encourage students to experiment with, test, and learn from their designs. It’s perfect hands-on learning to build confidence in all young engineers!
