STEM At Home Challenges!
Each month I will issue a new STEM AT HOME CHALLENGE. These assignments are OPTIONAL and open to the entire school! I encourage parents to let the students think things through WITHOUT USING THE COMPUTER TO LOOK FOR IDEAS! This is a great opportunity for them to use their imagination and be creative! YOU will be AMAZED at the fantastic things they come up with! We have started talking about the Engineering Design Process and I encourage all students to try and follow it when they start their project. All the challenges will use easy to find items in order to encourage the highest amount of family participation!
