STEM CHALLENGES !!

      • More Marshmallows PLEASE! - Who doesn’t LOVE hot chocolate with marshmallows? Create a catapult that tosses mini - marshmallows into a mug. Your goal is to create the most accurate marshmallow tosser!


      • Bridging Fun - Using toothpicks and soft candy, build the strongest bridge you can. Test your bridge strength using household items. How much can your bridge hold?


      • Parachuting Minifigure - Create the perfect parachute for a toy minifigure dropped from at least 10 feet. Minifigures like soft landings and lots of time to take in the view as they descend from their jump. Design a parachute that gives a minifigure the GENTLEST landing and the most amount of time in flight.
