In a world where AI skills and fluency will be necessary and marketable, colleges and universities have made efforts to embrace AI in the classroom (e.g., Balch & Blanck, 2025; Butulis, 2023; Parks & Oslick, 2024) and to provide their students with instruction and practice in using AI in productive and ethical ways (e.g., Schoeder, 2024).

This Leprechaun Traps STEM Journal is a fun hands-on activity that challenges students to design and build their own leprechaun traps. Students plan their traps step-by-step, exploring concepts of engineering, creativity, and problem-solving with the support of the STEM journal. They document their designs, test their traps, and reflect on what worked and what could be improved.
