About this printable

These STEM challenge cards give a class a real engineering problem in one sentence, then get out of the way. Build a tower that holds a book. Move a marble three feet without touching it. Make a boat that carries twenty coins. Each task is designed for a group of three to four students working with paper, tape, straws, cups, string and other cheap classroom supplies, which makes the set workable for makerspace rotations, early finisher stations, STEM clubs and cover lessons.

The 36 cards run across four strands: structures, motion and machines, water and floating, and paper engineering. Every card gives the challenge, the exact material limit, a suggested time limit of ten to forty minutes, a constraint that blocks the one obvious solution, and three reflection questions for the end. Teacher notes explain what each challenge is quietly teaching, so you can tie a Friday build to the unit you are already running. Group role cards, a materials request slip and a simple rubric are included for classes that need more structure.

Cards print two per page on A4 or US Letter, and each card also sits on its own page for projecting one at a time. Personal and single classroom use is licensed; resale and redistribution are not permitted.

Downloading and printing

How does the download work?

Pay and the files are yours straight away. A download link appears on the confirmation page and the same link is emailed to you, so nothing depends on you staying on the site. Links stay live for 72 hours and each file can be downloaded up to 5 times, so save it to your own device on the first go. Full walkthrough: how to download.

Printing tips for the best result

Print at 100% or "actual size" rather than "fit to page", otherwise the margins shift and the pages stop lining up. A4 and US Letter are both included, so pick whichever your printer is loaded with. Plain paper is fine for worksheets; use 160-300 gsm card for anything you plan to cut out, and laminate or slide pages into a wallet when they need to survive a dry-wipe pen.

What the licence allows

Your purchase covers personal use and use in a single classroom by one teacher. Print as many copies as you need for your own family or class. You may not resell the files, pass them to other staff or schools, upload them anywhere, or use them commercially. For a whole-school or department licence, get in touch. Full wording: licence terms.

Refunds on digital goods

Because the file is delivered instantly and cannot be handed back, downloads are not refundable once the link has been sent. If a file will not open, is missing pages, or is not what this page described, contact us and we will fix it or refund you. The refund policy has the detail.

Questions about SEL & STEM Cards

Do the STEM cards need special equipment?

No. The experiments use common household items, listed on the card itself.

Are these suitable for children with additional needs?

The cards are visual and use very little text, which suits many children who find a lot of words hard going. You know your child best, so look at the preview pages first.
