Fourth graders melted broken crayons into circular shapes. Students then designed and built a box to store the new crayons. Before building, they planned their design by sketching and creating a paper prototype. The challenge encouraged careful planning, creativity, and problem-solving.

Students explore gravity, force, and motion by designing ball runs with KEVA planks. As they build and test different heights and angles, they see how structure affects speed and direction. This hands-on challenge strengthens scientific thinking while encouraging creativity and problem-solving.

Fourth grade makers design and build cardboard car bodies that kindergarten students will use to explore how toys move. This collaborative project strengthens design skills, teamwork, and empathy as older students create for younger learners. 

Fourth graders bring technology and imagination together through a project called Haunted Bee-Bots. Students design spooky story maps, build mini-mazes, and code their Bee-Bots to navigate obstacles and complete missions. This seasonal challenge strengthens computational thinking, collaboration, and creative problem-solving while showing that coding can be both rigorous and fun.
