The Marvelous Maze STEM Challenge

A maze is a network of paths. Mazes are usually designed as a puzzle through which something has to find their way. Most mazes also have a start and a finish.

The most famous maze in the world is the Dole Pineapple Maze that is located in Hawaii.   People walk through this huge maze trying to find their way into the center to find the giant Pineapple.  Then, they have to try to find the finish. 

In this STEM Challenge, your task is to build a maze for a marble that includes at least one square, rectangle, and triangle. It should also have a start and a finish and you should be able to carefully roll the marble through each twist and turn. Good luck with this puzzling STEM challenge.
