Course Description

Step back in time to the snowy woods of Wisconsin in this interactive 3-week STEM book club inspired by Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. As we read about Laura’s life in a log cabin with her pioneer family, students will explore themes of hard work, creativity, and family through rich discussion and hands-on STEM challenges. Each week, we’ll dive into what it meant to live without electricity, grocery stores, or modern technology—and how families used their resourcefulness to survive and thrive. Along the way, students will design their own miniature log cabins, engineer clever solutions for storing food, and build animal pens to care for pretend livestock—just like the Ingalls family might have done. This class blends historical fiction with real-world building challenges to spark imagination, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation for the past. It’s perfect for readers who love stories, tinkering, and bringing books to life through hands-on fun.
