Engineering Design Challenge: Create a Marble Maze

In this engineering project, students will explore the core concepts of engineering and technology by designing a device that keeps a marble rolling from point A to point B for the longest time. Students will utilize the engineering design process to plan, construct, and evaluate their maze, incorporating elements like loops, zig-zags, and speed bumps. They will demonstrate their problem-solving skills and leadership in a collaborative environment. Tools and materials provided include poster board, craft sticks, and recycled items. Students will also calculate the distance and rate of the marble's travel through the maze.

  2. ENGR-II-2: Students will examine the core concepts of engineering and technology. Construct a simple technological system Explain how your technological system operates

  3. ENGR-II-3: Students will demonstrate engineering design and problem solving skills. Troubleshoot a product or system.

  4. ENGR-II-6: Students will develop leadership skills and work ethics. Demonstrate work ethics within the classroom and lab environment.

  5. Challenge • You and your partner will use the engineering design process to plan, design, construct and evaluate a device to keep a marble rolling from point A to Point B for the longest time.

  6. Design Requirements • Theme • Name for maze • Drop • Zig - Zag • Loop or spiral • Speed bumps • 10” or taller

  7. Design Criteria • Point and A and point B must be placed on in opposite corners. Point A Point B

  8. Tools and Materials • Poster Board, card board flat • Masking tape • Glue gun and glue sticks • Scissors and X-acto knife • Supply of craft sticks, paper cup, tissue rolls, straws, tooth picks, paper clips. • You may bring in any recycled items – plastic bottles, spoons, forks etc.
