Build a Telescope - STEM Engineering Challenge

What teacher doesn't love to give kids a chance to design and experiment in the classroom?

As a STEM coordinator, I am always looking for creative ways for teachers to integrate STEM engineering and design challenges into their classroom activities. I decided to work on creating STEM Engineering Challenge Packs using cheap and easy to find materials.

Are you ready to design and build a working telescope?

Can you design and build a working telescope?

Materials Needed: (per classroom)

- cardboard tubes

- clear plastic cups (9 oz. size)

- clear plastic cups (3 oz. size)

- duct tape

- scissors and tape

This STEM engineering and design challenge will bring excitement and engagement to your classroom! We do this one as an individual challenge.

Time to engineer a working telescope!
