Inspired by classic fairy tales, the STEM kits challenge the students to design and engineer a solution based on the problem encountered within the story. There are six fairy tales to choose from and each kit comes with everything the students need. One kit is good for groups of 3 students working collaboratively. Below is a link to each kit from the Lakeshore Learning website, as well as the replacement cost. Recommended grades: k-3
