Hong Kong STEM Challenge #2


Our buddy class in Hong Kong challenged us to a STEM activity. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.



We were given 3 challenges and they were:

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base.
Challenge #2 - Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size.
Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it.




Here are the materials we had access to:
We were allowed to choose what we thought would best help us achieve our goal:

6 x long sticks
1 x wooden 100s square
2 x pipe cleaners
2 x straws
1 x 1m ruler
11 x plastic cubes
1 x bunch of popsicle sticks
4 x wooden small flat pieces
