Design a Magnetic Friend Engineering Design Challenge | 1st Grade STEM Discoveries

Students will step into the shoes of engineers as they explore the magic of magnets, uncover how they attract and repel, and design their own magnetic friend! Using Marsha is Magnetic as inspiration, learners will recognize that problems can have multiple solutions - just like real-world engineering.

Through hands-on creativity, students will construct their own magnetic friend, mastering the art of building magnetic hand closures using everyday materials. They’ll discover how magnets are used in technology, tools, and daily life, building real-world STEM knowledge in a fun and interactive way!

This unit is part of our new 1st Grade STEM Discoveries series - get ready to build, explore, and innovate!
