Bringing science off of a sheet of paper and actually into my student's hands is my goal. The resources for STEM are very limited at my school. I would like to provide my students with a more hands-on approach to science, technology, engineering, and math. Learning about these fun topics strictly from reading articles has not given my students the full experience. I want to fully immerse my students in STEM. My students work best when they are able to touch and engage with the material in a more realistic way. My Engaged Engineers will truly benefit from these materials.
