Build
Learners assemble the core design and see how the parts work together.
A tilting ball maze that uses ramps, barriers, and pathways to guide motion toward a goal.
Learners start by arranging foam paths, supports, and obstacles on a maze board, then test how slope and layout affect the ball's movement.
From there, they can redesign it with dead ends, shortcuts, levels, challenges, team connections, or a longer pathway that links multiple mazes together.
Learners assemble the core design and see how the parts work together.
They try it, notice what happens, and compare the result with their goal.
They make changes, add their own ideas, and improve the build through iteration.
Build pathways and ramps that use gravity to guide motion.
Test, change, and improve a design through multiple tries.
Student-facing slides introduce the concepts, guide the activity, and help learners reflect on what changed. Educator materials support setup, pacing, discussion, and extensions so this can work in classrooms, libraries, homeschool groups, clubs, or makerspaces.
