Let’s build a robot model that has a purpose that students or their parents might need! This is the perfect easy prep STEM Challenge to try after reading The Wild Robot or The Bot That Scott Built. Reading and a STEM Challenge is a win-win! What is the challenge? This challenge features the task of creating a model of a robot that has a function or purpose. Use simple supplies you probably already have. We loved creating robots to unload groceries, do our homework, walk our dogs, and teach dance lessons! Your students will love the freedom of a quick challenge as they get right to work and learn as they go! The scenario we used for this challenge was to create a robot that could be purchased at a department store. The function of the robot is something that would be helpful to a family. Student presentations of the final robots were a sales pitch to a company that might sell the robots. What is your prep? Supplies needed in addition to this package include Cardboard tubes, index cards, metal washers, pipe cleaners, aluminum foil, straws, rubber bands, masking tape, and a container for each group’s supplies. Of course, substitutions can be made for any of these! Use what you have in your craft supplies!
