Technology puts the T in STEM! We believe technology is most effective when used to support learning. This is especially true during our engineering design units. Here are some ways we use technology in engineering...
- The Internet is used to research important social studies or science concepts prior to engineering design challenges.
- Our 3D printer and 3D printing software allow students to design and print their solutions to design challenges.
- Probeware (electronic microscopes, thermometers, speed gates, etc.) are used for data collection.
- Students use science and math tools to measure and collect data.
- Coding opportunities: Beebots, Ozobots, Dash/Dot Robots, Vex Go Robots, Blockly programs
- When students create a product to solve a problem, they have created technology!
