Focusing on collaboration has never been more engaging or needed in schools after years of children being isolated and missing out on socialization. This Makerspace Story Station resource is filled with 10 Collaborative STEM activities that focus on 10 different books with collaboration as the key theme. Your kids will have a BLAST and learn to work well with others! A collaboration poster is included.

Collaboration Makerspace/STEM Challenge Task Cards give busy teachers the tools they need to build a highly engaging collaborative classroom that is inclusive for all types of learners while also allowing student choice in a maker station.

Maker Stations focus on design thinking and allow students to work through the Engineering Design Process as well as focus on building a classroom community through creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, community, and curiosity without taking up a ton of space.

These 10 Makerspace/STEM Challenge Cards or Task Cards allow for a creative Makerspace (Makers Space) environment that emphasizes 21st-century skills and STEAM aspects. Integrating science, technology, engineering, art, and math have never been easier!

Each challenge is tied to the perfect collaboration piece of real literature that encourages students to think deeply about the text and think critically about solutions for common problems in the stories and in the world around us.
