• Grades: 3-8
• Number of Students: 8-24, 15-45
• Hours of Content: 2-3
• Additional resources: Lesson Plan

Highlights:

Explore Concepts & Careers around MAZES before building / testing one of your own!

Objective: 

Students will apply principles of design, spatial reasoning, and problem-solving to create a functioning maze or labyrinth that incorporates key concepts introduced in the academic video.

Set in the creative city of STIIX-Ville, students are commissioned by a local toy store to invent an exciting, interactive puzzle toy that could become the store’s next best-seller. Through this project, students will explore design constraints, user experience, and iteration while documenting their process and evaluating the success of their maze designs.
