My Project

My students love learning through doing! Students will learn fundamental engineering principles of structural design and teamwork while constructing model bridges from various materials. The bridge building kits we are requesting will do just that.

The club provides a creative space for students to apply science and math concepts to real-world challenges, fostering a passion for STEM subjects.

Throughout the sessions, students will experiment with different bridge designs, honing their problem-solving skills and gaining practical engineering insights. The club not only promotes academic growth but also cultivates a sense of collaboration and innovation among its members. Lastly, students will see how school can help prepare them for a career.
