Grade 4 Index Card Engineering Challenge

For this challenge, the Grade 4 students had to apply their understanding of the Engineering Design Process. They had to work collaboratively to create a stand using 100 index cards. The stand had to be at least 12 inches high and it had to hold a small panda bear on top without falling over. The students were assessed based on their ability to follow all of the directions, build a stable stand, and work collaboratively with their classmates.
