✨ What are STEM Tales? ✨
STEM tales are a series of STEM challenges that are accessible for your youngest engineers; they use a fairy tale that your students are likely already familiar with. By adding in a story element, those students that might typically shy away from STEM activities may engage with the story to solve a problem for one of the characters.
✏️ Why STEM Tales? ✏️
- Easy to implement, whether you are new to STEM or a seasoned STEM educator.
- Uses the EDP: Each story guides the student through the engineering design process seamlessly, using the 5-step process: Ask - Imagine - Plan - Create - Improve
- Interactive and engaging: Students record their work as they go and complete the story in the process.
✂️ What materials will I need to complete this activity? ✂️
Printable characters are included in the resource. You will need recyclable materials or building items, such as blocks and craft sticks, as well as some coins or washers. I always try to design my STEM activities to be budget-friendly, and always encourage teachers to use the items they have on hand.
