STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) Course Description Update!
Please disregard the original/old course description and use this one instead:
STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) *UPDATED 4/2/14*
Be an Innovator in this course designed to introduce and support middle school students interested in science, technology, and engineering. Using their imagination and problem-solving skills, students create innovative solutions that address how we gather knowledge in the 21st century.
7th Graders: Students will be introduced to the challenge of constructing and programming a working autonomous robot in the volcano and sumo challenges.
8th Graders: Students will construct and program robot floats that follow the parade route while detecting other robots in front of them. Student teams will also build their own robot to show off their costume and perform dancing motions synchronized to music.
Both grade levels will get a chance to compete in the Science Olympiad in various scientific disciplines, including anatomy, astronomy, entomology, and bridge building. In addition to building a technology skill set in the process of putting together a visual display and oral presentation, students will leave the course with a solid foundation and resources that will help in future classes. Be ready for a fun filled summer with daily competitions that will keep you excited for more!
*Period 1 - 8th Grade only
