Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This activity set includes four distinct STEM challenges suitable for elementary students. Each challenge focuses on different skills: building with LEGO, programming a Dash robot, and designing an animated character in Scratch Jr. Teachers can guide students through the missions and encourage them to think critically about design, safety, creativity, and inclusivity. The extension ideas and reflection questions promote deeper thinking and iteration. Use the images as visual prompts to engage students. The activity is designed to be hands-on and open-ended, allowing for creativity and multiple solutions.
