One good challenge to teach the learning pit strategies is to design a complex puzzle or problem-solving activity. Here’s an example:

Challenge: Design a Rube Goldberg machine Objective: Create a machine that performs a simple task using a series of chain reactions.

Instructions: 1. Divide the participants into small groups. 2. Provide each group with a set of materials such as dominos, marbles, ramps, pulleys, etc. 3. Explain the objective of the challenge and the concept of the learning pit strategies. 4. Encourage the groups to brainstorm and design their Rube Goldberg machines. 5. Once the designs are ready, allow the groups to start building their machines. 6. As they encounter obstacles or face difficulties, remind them to use the learning pit strategies to overcome challenges. 7. After a designated time, have each group present their machines and explain the strategies they used to overcome obstacles. 8. Evaluate the machines based on creativity, functionality, and the effective use of learning pit strategies.

This challenge will require the participants to think critically, problem-solve, and persevere through challenges. It will also provide an opportunity for them to practice the learning pit strategies such as embracing the struggle, seeking help, and reflecting on their progress.
