Catapults, rolling vehicles, truss bridges, inventions, and friction climbers—five hands-on projects that put middle school students in the role of engineer. Each project escalates from a guided build to an open-ended design challenge, with fifteen total challenges that develop real problem-solving skills. Bilingual English-Spanish instructions and integrated reading and art make this a complete cross-curricular STEM experience.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Creating Catapults: Assemble and test a catapult’s accuracy and then develop your own game.
- Creating Rolling Vehicles: Build, test, learn, and innovate with fold-up paper racers, and later add a balloon for jet power!
- Creating Truss Bridges: Construct an initial truss bridge out of craft sticks, and then design a longer one and test its load-bearing capabilities.
- Creating Inventions: Use the included materials to cycle through the engineering design process to first engineer a simple elevator and tractor pull, and later create your own invention!
- Creating Friction Climbers: Construct a simple climbing mechanism and learn how friction makes it seem to defy gravity!

Five Projects That Demand Real Problem-Solving
The STEM Creator Pack moves beyond guided activities into genuine engineering challenges. Students build, test, fail, redesign, and succeed—developing the persistence and creativity that define real engineers.
Creating Catapults
Students assemble and test a catapult for accuracy, analyze the physics of projectile motion, and then design their own game that applies what they learned about force and trajectory.
Creating Rolling Vehicles
Students build fold-up paper racers, test performance variables, learn about friction and momentum, then add balloon jet power to explore Newton's Third Law in action.
Creating Truss Bridges
Students construct a truss bridge from craft sticks, learn how triangular structures distribute load, then design a longer span and test its load-bearing capacity to failure.
Creating Inventions
Students cycle through the full engineering design process to build a simple elevator and tractor pull, then apply those skills to create their own original invention from scratch.
What Students Will Do
Each project builds engineering confidence by progressing from guided construction to open-ended design, giving students ownership of their solutions.
- Build and test a catapult, then design a catapult-based game
- Construct paper racers and add balloon jet propulsion
- Engineer truss bridges and test load capacity to failure
- Build an elevator and tractor pull, then invent something new
- Construct a friction climber that defies gravity
- Apply the engineering design process in every project

Why Teachers Love STEM Creator Pack
Real Engineering Challenges
Every project moves beyond assembly into genuine design problems where students must test, analyze, and improve their solutions.
Physics in Action
Catapults, vehicles, bridges, and climbers make abstract physics concepts like force, friction, momentum, and load distribution tangible and testable.
Open-Ended Design
Each project culminates in a creative challenge where students apply what they learned to solve a new problem or invent something original.
Bilingual and Inclusive
English and Spanish instructions in every guide ensure all students can access the content without translation barriers.
Complete and Self-Contained
All materials, guides, and challenges for five projects ship in one box. Open it and start engineering.
Cross-Curricular Integration
Reading and art activities in every project build literacy and communication skills alongside engineering and science content.
