Engineering

Grade Lvl:4-5

Bring ancient history to life as students explore the legendary story of the Trojan Horse! In this inventive engineering challenge, learners are inspired by a clever strategy from Greek history to design their own hidden transport systems. Students brainstorm ways to camouflage and conceal “soldiers,” then engineer models that can move their figures without being seen. Through problem-solving, creativity, and a bit of historical intrigue, students combine engineering and storytelling, resulting in a memorable activity that blends history, motion, and design in a way they’ll never forget.

How can we create a hiding place for soldiers?
