A marble LEGO challenge is an excellent STEAM/STEM build for elementary-age children. It teaches engineering skills and fosters creativity. Winning!
Start with a simple goal: build a track where a marble travels through the track successfully.
Make the marble run more challenging by adding goals such as:
- Make the marble turn propellers
- Build in turns
- Can the marble go down and then back up again?
- Can the marble make it through an arch, a door, or a tunnel?
- Can you add height to your marble run?
- Can you make a flat marble run, more like a marble puzzle?
- What specialty LEGO pieces can you use to add ramps and unexpected maze elements?
- What grade vertical slope works best?
Experiment and have fun. This is a LEGO activity you can do over and over again!
