Course Description

Welcome to the Candy Maze Design Lab! In this sweet STEM adventure, students will use LEGO bricks or recycled materials to design and build their very own maze for candy or marbles to travel through. As they test, tweak, and decorate their designs, they’ll learn about spatial reasoning, sequencing, and creative problem-solving. We’ll start with a quick design challenge warm-up, then students will sketch their maze layout before building. After construction, everyone will test their maze paths and share how they adjusted designs for smoother travel. This one-time class encourages critical thinking and creativity in a fun, hands-on environment—no sugar rush required! By the end of class, students will be able to: - Design a maze using clear start and finish points. - Apply engineering and sequencing skills to create functional paths. - Communicate their design choices and problem-solving process. - Practice collaboration and creativity in a supportive classroom setting.
