Forget wasting quarters at the claw machine – kids can now make their very own remote-controlled, fluid-powered claws! Kids really engineer their own claw in this guided activity, designing, testing, and redesigning their claw, then using it to complete optional labs or challenges!

Includes different documents for different ages. Some adult assistance is helpful for third graders.

TeacherGeek solves the frustrations of STEM/STEAM/makerspaces for teachers and kids:

• READY-TO-GO PACKS – just hand them out and get started: pre-divided 10-packs include printed guides and plenty of extra parts
• AMAZING EDITABLE CURRICULUM – award-winning, editable documents, videos, labs, challenges, and more get kids designing, investigating, and competing in challenges
• STANDARDS ALIGNED – curriculum is teacher designed and aligned to NGSS, CCSS, ITEEA, and state standards
• REAL ENGINEERING – kids actually design, test, redesign, and repeat; there’s no perfect design, so kids are never done making
• REAL DATA – data so good kids can measure the effects of design changes, even using the data to complete optional science labs
• RECYCLING BIN INNOVATION – recycling bin + TeacherGeek = even more creativity

TeacherGeek is not a toy; it’s way better! Kids love making real things, especially when they get to use age-appropriate tools.
