My students are part of the gifted program and I am constantly trying to find ways to engage their brain in different ways. These STEM Learning Labs will provide eight separate challenges for my students to explore in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. They can build a rollercoaster, design a robotic hand, or even invent a way to alarm their pencil box! Each project-based lab includes step-by-step activities that students complete in order—culminating in an in-depth engineering activity that really brings concepts to life. Students simply work through each activity with partners or in groups…and build the critical-thinking and problem-solving skills they’ll need for success in the future! Each lab has all the materials students need.
