🖍️ Back to School STEAM Activity

Are you looking for a back-to-school STEAM activity? This task will have your students use their creativity and problem-solving skills to create a sturdy but colourful crayon box. The challenge is that it has to be able to hold 5 crayons and stand on its own. This STEAM challenge also doubles as a fun first-day-of-school activity!

For this activity, students will generate ideas of what materials to use, brainstorm items for their box, draw the crayon box design, build their crayon box and reflect on their design process.
