As part of their Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies curriculum, students engaged in an exciting design challenge — building their own mazes from scratch. The project encouraged creative thinking, problem-solving, and hands-on construction as they transformed their ideas into functional designs.
The process began with brainstorming and blueprinting, where students mapped out their maze concepts and planned each twist and turn. From there, they carefully measured, constructed and tested their designs, troubleshooting along the way to ensure their paths were both engaging and functional. As they refined their work, they learned to navigate challenges, think critically, and embrace the iterative design process.
The finished mazes were then shared with their peers, who eagerly explored and tested the different designs. The lively exchange of ideas brought the designs to life and turned the classroom into a hub of discovery and collaboration.
