Technically in BC we don't do STEM. We do ADST (applied design, skills, & technology) but, if you look online for STEM projects you will find a lot more ideas. I started off the term with this little group challenge: Build a tower using only popsicle sticks and tape. The tower must be able to hold a ball.
Some of my students were quite ingenious with their ideas and came up with structures that I wouldn't have never thought of. There were also some that did not fulfill the criteria, but we're clearly very creative. Most students put in a good effort and that is mainly what I am concerned with.
