Cup Stacking Team Building
STEAM Challenge
Hello 4th Grade Engineers!
We will use the Engineer's Design Process and Seesaw to work collaboratively to solve a problem.
Our Learning Targets are:
(Innovative Designer 4.b.)
I can document my learning by maintaining a digital portfolio.
I can collaborate with my group to plan out a project using the design process.

Engineers are problem solvers and we are going to work like engineers to solve a problem by working in a team to stack cups into a pyramid shape. Does it sound easy? The trick is that you cannot touch the cups with your hands once the competition begins.
- Engineers must be creative as they work to find solutions to problems that will make our lives easier.
- They also work in teams and communicate with each other to design and try out their solutions
Challenge: Work as team to build this stacked cup pyramid. All members will need to participate to succeed in this challenge.
The Engineer Design Process
Follow the steps of the Engineer Design Process to complete this challenge with your partners. You will only have 25 minutes to do this. 10 minutes to Ask, Imagine, and Plan. 15 minutes to create and Improve. In the end the that follows the constraints and stacks their cups in a pyramid formation with 4 cups on the bottom, 3 cups on the 2nd tier, 2 cups on the 3rd tier, and 1 cup on the top wins!!!
Good Luck Engineers!
