Tufts CEEO team designed these student-facing activity cards that are meant to be printed double-sided and laminated like placemats. Each placemat gives the student an engaging design challenge that can be completed using low-cost materials like paper, cardboard, and craft materials. The placemats pair well with the Constructopedia, the guide for building mechanisms that can otherwise be tricky for students.

The PEBL Toolkit is an open source resource to bring playful engineering based learning to your classrooms and your homes. The toolkit aims to turn your classrooms and homes into playgrounds for exploration. Each of the 10 activities available in PEBL Toolkit is focused on creating a student-directed hands-on playful learning experience using engineering, scientific and mathematical concepts. These activities are designed to create joyful, actively engaging, meaningful, socially interactive and iterative experiences for students.
