STEM Mockup mayhem

STEM weekend activity 08/15/2020

This weeks STEM activity is an interactive game called Mockup. In this game participants will be prompted a challenge by drawing a card from three categories that create a dilemma and asked to create an invention to solve their particular problem. I personally played this game with two of my friends and our problem was that "superheroes" needed a way to "detect poison" using something "magnetic" (see the picture below to see our example)! The problem was a difficult one but we had two minutes to draw a sketch of our invention on a white board and show it to the group to compare and contrast our ideas. We created some great outlandish inventions and it was so interesting to see the different trains of thought collaborating on this idea.

Our education team here at the museum realize that not everyone has access to this game to play at home but it would be a fun and simple one to recreate! This game allows players to get creative, grab some flashcards and create your own scenarios. You will need the following categories...
  •  - User (ex: Mermaids, Teachers, Volunteers...)
  • - Need (ex: save the whales, gather vegetables from a garden, build a house...)
  • - Constraint (ex: works on mars, made from paper, covered in grass...)

  • This activity will be featured in the Children's Gallery of the museum on Saturday 08/14/2020. Please stop in and have some STEM fun!
