Space Hub

In this STEM Kit, students will learn about structures and the engineering design process through the creation of a space hub. Students will draw blueprints, construct structures, and test and refine models. STEM Kits are uniquely designed to support formal or informal use. They can be implemented as quick lessons between classroom units, in afterschool programming, science clubs, libraries, and at science nights.   

Hands-on Activities: 

• Pipe cleaner pyramid and cube building 
• Structure challenge cards and blueprint drawings 
• Space hub model creation  
• Earthquake shake table and heavy load test of model 
• Model redesign based on test results
