Bring problem-based learning to life with the Engineering Kit K–2 Student Task Cards.
Designed for teachers, parents, and districts seeking engaging STEM resources, these cards provide student-led, open-ended challenges that align with the Engineering Design Process.
Each card introduces a high-interest scientific phenomenon—from gravity and motion to animal migration and natural disasters—and invites students to design, test, and share solutions. With no single right answer, learners practice critical 21st Century skills: Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Collaboration.
