Challenge Resources - Controller Items, Holders, and Transporters Kit

A fun, hands-on approach to learning that fosters student creativity, courage, and curiosity through open-ended academic challenges in the fields of STEM and fine arts.

Competition gives your team an opportunity to demonstrate their creative problem-solving skills as they demonstrate teamwork and ability to think on their feet. The kit has been assembled so coaches can focus on the kids and not spend valuable time on shopping and organizing materials.

How will your team use the materials in an innovative way? How can they combine materials to make them stronger? Can they be taken apart or used for multiple purposes? Your team’s original ideas are limitless! Remember, materials can have multiple properties, for example, a straw can be both an extender and a connector, depending on how it is used.

There are four other kits for your team (KI04155M), (KI04156M), (KI04158M), and (KI04159M). It is recommended that each age level team have their own set of kits to prepare for competitions.

These items will help you create structures, extend your idea up or out, and make it come to life!

Use these items to control and secure your creations, hold things, and move items from one place to another.
