Curriculum - Learning Undefeated

Acoustic Shields

In this design challenge, students will take on the role of environmental engineers to design an innovative bubble curtain system that reduces underwater construction noise at the Port of LU.

Alien Elements

Alien Elements is an activity developed by Learning Undefeated to help students explore the field of data science and how it can be applied to the studies of chemistry.

Artificial Intelligence

Students will learn what it means for a computer to be intelligent and how AI software uses data to identify different things.

Biomimicry (TEA)

A STEM challenge to design a prosthesis that can hold a water bottle, lift one up and move it, and have a firm enough grip to open the water bottle.

Bottle Rocket Truck (TEA)

Students will design a truck that is as efficient as possible for Jennifer’s transportation company.

Breakout Box: AI Mission

Working with our own advanced AI-powered systems, you must protect our power hubs across the country, restore power to critical areas, and prevent the hacker from a complete takeover.

Breakout Box: Biomanufacturing Mission

Step into the role of a new technician at a state-of-the-art biomanufacturing facility. You will be trained on how cells are grown to produce therapeutics and learn how they are purified in a safe and sterile manner using aseptic technique. Students will learn the rules, standards, and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) that technicians must follow to get a treatment from the laboratory to patients.

Breakout Box: Body Systems Mission

Work together to solve puzzles using abandoned diabetes research to finish the project before time runs out and the alarm sounds.

Breakout Box: Environmental Mission

Work together to solve puzzles using a project file that was left behind by your intern supervisor.

Breakout Box: Manufacturing Challenge

Infiltrate a manufacturing facility that has been monopolized by Evil Eye Corp. to manufacture affordable and sustainable sunglasses for the masses

Care Package Launch (TEA)

Students will engage in a STEM challenge to design a catapult that can land on two different targets.

Case of the Broken Beaker

Students explore the use of DNA profiling and gel electrophoresis, using restriction enzymes and agarose gel electrophoresis to create a genetic profile.

Chemical and Physical Changes Game

In an immersive learning theater, student groups gather evidence to identify changes as either chemical reactions or physical changes.

Circuits (Learning Undefeated)

Students will engage in an electricity and circuitry STEM challenge to design a Wigglebot toy that can produce light and sound while still being able to wiggle.

Circuits (TEA)

Students will engage in an electricity and circuitry STEM challenge to design a Wigglebot toy that can produce light and sound while still being able to wiggle.

City Planning (TEA)

Students will be presented with flooding as a problem that needs to be addressed by city planners.

Coast to Coast: Maintaining Healthy Habitats

In this design challenge, students will work together to design a tool or process that successfully removes an invasive species from an ecosystem while minimizing harm to the native species and environment.
