STEM Adventure: Build, Code, and Conquer the Challenges!

Friday March 7, 2025 10:00am - 11:45am CST

In this 90-minute session, you'll collaborate in teams to tackle two exciting challenges. First, you'll design and build a device capable of carrying a payload while navigating a course powered by a Sphero. In the second challenge, your team will create a device to drive and retrieve rings from a custom-built gateway. This hands-on activity encourages critical thinking, engineering design, physics, coding, and more. While this session lasts 90 minutes, this project would typically take multiple class periods to fully complete.
