“A powerpoint about what is STEAM then intro The Pringles Ring STEAM Challenge (often called the "Pringle Ringle") is a popular educational engineering activity where the goal is to build a self-supporting, 3D circle using only Pringles chips. The catch is that you are strictly forbidden from using glue, tape, or any other adhesives”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this packet as a 30-minute introduction to STEAM concepts and a hands-on engineering challenge.
- Discussion question: What does each letter in STEAM stand for, and how might they work together?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide sentence starters for explaining their design process.
- Extension for advanced students: Have students research other everyday objects that could be used for similar engineering challenges.
- Estimated time: 30-45 minutes.
