It’s time for a STEM Challenge! Make It Move is a great STEM Challenge for big or small groups that requires creativity, ingenuity and lots of fun! It can be done solo but would be even more fun in a group or teams. So who’s up for a Make It Move! STEM Challenge?
The Make It Move! STEM Challenge is a lot of fun and can be used for almost any elementary aged child.
