Summer Inventor STEM Challenge

Spark creativity before the bell rings for summer! In this hands-on build challenge, students use simple classroom materials to invent an original “Summer Solution” — something that makes summer more fun, safe, or relaxing. With just 20 minutes on the clock, young inventors brainstorm, build, and pitch their creations in a high-energy, low-stress activity perfect for the last days of school, summer camps, or enrichment programs.

Includes everything you need: teacher directions, a student sketch & planning page, a 4-level rubric, reflection sheet, extension ideas, and printable award certificates. No prep headaches — just grab some craft supplies and go!

Perfect for: End-of-year | Summer Camps | Enrichment | Early Finishers | STEM Clubs
