Cardboard Challenge

Picture
Last year, my class celebrated the end of the year by tackling one last challenge: We built arcade games out of cardboard and other recycled materials. This year, we will tackle this challenge with the other classes in 4th grade.

Think Like an Engineer

Picture
ASK: What is the problem? How have others approached it? What are your constraints?

IMAGINE: What are some solutions? Brainstorm ideas. Choose the best one.

PLAN: Draw a diagram. Make lists of materials you will need.

CREATE: Follow your plan and create something. Test it out!

IMPROVE: What works? What doesn't? What could work better? Modify your designs to make it better. Test it out!
