Teacher Created Resources STEM Starters: DIY Fidget Kit
About This Item
Description
STEM Starters provide students with essential tools to complete hands-on projects. When combined with everyday items, these materials can be used to design and execute a project using creative exploration and the engineering design process. By approaching a problem or a challenge with this thought process, children are able to make educated guesses, problem-solve, and learn without the fear of making a mistake. This activity challenges students to create their own fidgets. Common fidget elements plus an 8-page parent/teacher guide are provided; it’s up to the young scientists to determine the best combination of materials to design their creation. Incorporating common household or classroom materials creates endless personalized fidget opportunities. Using the engineering design process, students will create, evaluate, and redesign their fidgets until their objective is met. Includes enough materials to begin more than 10 different fidgets. 62 total pieces.Includes:
