Sports STEM Challenge for Fall: Design and Create a Sports Dome
A math-centric STEM challenge that is fun to create on both a small and large scale: the geodesic dome!
Why try this challenge? I think this Venn diagram says it all:
On a slightly more serious note, this challenge requires patience to figure out but the reward is great. If you have a lot of space you can even have students create one large dome together and turn it into a reading nook or meeting space.
First, gather up the materials:
This project can be done in two ways - freestyle, or with the measurements provided to create the dome as shown.
What
skills do students work on? In addition to following the Engineering
Design Process to complete this challenge, they will need to make measurements as well as work together with patience and perseverance.
