Students create a simple maze on a flat board with barriers made from a variety of materials. They navigate the maze by gently tilting the board to move a marble along paths towards different targets, which could be hand-drawn pictures, stickers, numbers, letters, actions, and more! They learn about forces and motion, design/engineering, teamwork, and social emotional skills.
