Two recent challenges given to our STEM students were to build a working mechanical crane with strawbees, and to build a tall tower with spaghetti noodles and marshmallows.  The students were very creative and came up with some fantastic models.  In every STEM challenge, the students are given requirements and guidelines to follow. They also get to use the STEM engineering process! Way to go STEM!
