Integrate STEM in your classroom this Christmas Season with Gingerbread Man Trap STEM Challenge!
Students discover how to catch a Gingerbread Man as they design and build a their very own Gingerbread Man Trap!
Increase problem solving and engineering skills through this engaging Christmas STEM challenge. An excellent companion activity to the book Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett.
Students plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't.
