In this design challenge, students will read the storybook Magnets Push, Magnets Pull to learn about how magnets work. The students will receive the following problem; “Jose loves to entertain his community by designing hay mazes every year. He needs some help this year in thinking of a new maze design. Today, you will be putting on your engineering hat to build a maze!” Students will engage in a STEM challenge to design a solvable maze with one entrance and exit that utilizes only a magnet to solve.
Students will perform protein purification using column chromatography to gain a greater understanding of the biomanufacturing process of going from a cell to a protein to a product.
In this activity, students will use computational thinking to write a code sequence for a drone to survey an arctic map. This activity is based on the work done by Northrop Grumman in Operation Polar Eye.
