This is one of my favorite STEM Project for middle school that I have developed. It is a ‘Designer‘ project that my Innovative Arts students can use to get started creating. They are gaining skills and learning about the creative process!

Example Glowbox Projects:

The wide range of options that go into this project makes it so much fun!

What you need to complete this project:

I use colored fairy lights to light the project up.

Mini popsicle sticks are easier to use to make the custom shapes.

This site holds the resources for Innovative Arts class, a class that replaced our technology class in our middle school. Students learn to create as engineers, designers, and more. At the same time, we are learning about our brains/mindsets (‘Puzzle‘), engage technology (‘Shift‘) and the creative process (‘Create‘).

New resources are being added constantly, so I send out a weekly roundup email with all of the new resources. Sign up to stay in the loop.
