My Project

I would like to be able to allow my students to build, explore, create, and take an adventure within their classroom environment. STEM is great for my students to learn and form relationships with their peers. The STEM materials, such as the Robot and Simple Machine will be used to help my students learn the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and productive struggle.

The goal of STEM-BRATION is for each student to see themselves as Scientists and Researchers as they unravel problems and find solutions to their

dilemmas.

Students will also be able to see the processes and stages of developing a project from beginning to end, and build upon their current skills while also learning new skills.
