​STEM Challenge: Supply Caddy
Ms. Jackson's 5th Grade

In case you missed the live presentation....Ms. Miller's avatar explains what this STEM Challenge is all about.

Step 1. What is the problem?

1. You have school supplies loose all over the place!
2. How can you solve this messy problem? 
3. Can you build something to help us organize?  What ideas do you have?
4. This STEM Challenge, you are being asked to design and create a supply caddy - a holder - for all of our loose school supplies like our pencils, crayons, markers, ruler, tape, pens, paper clips, scissors, and whatever else you have all over your work space.  
5. Your supply caddy holder needs to be created out of things you have at home:  like paper, cardboard, tape, toilet paper tubes. Ask mom or dad if it’s OK to use stuff, BEFORE emptying out containers. 

Messy Desk -- School Supplies Everywhere!!!

Step 2: What ideas do you have to solve your messy, disorganized school supply problem?
