First and foremost, I want to be clear that this product was inspired by the Disney character, I do not own this character, but am merely inspired by him to create this hands on STEM activity.
Also note that these are prototypes of Robots, and will NOT required any circuitry or working robotic pieces.
This is a great hands on unit for K-2 students that is aligned with ELA & Math CCSS, and Next Generation Science Standards for Engineering & Design. Students will watch Big Hero 6, or discuss the character Baymax, and be challenged to use specific materials to build a their own robot.
***Please note additional materials are needed for this activity***
Assorted plastic lids, assorted fabrics, coffee cans, plastic cups, straws, pipe cleaners, masking tape, Google eyes, buttons, tin foil, cardboard, string.
This packet includes:
