My project is to engage students in a cross-curricular, hands-on learning environment using Simple & Motorized Mechanisms. The curriculum, which is aligned to national standards, engages students to become more independent learners. The 21st-century skills they will develop include problem solving, comprehension, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. It creates a learning environment that addresses the challenges associated with having few opportunities for students to communicate in the language of mathematics and science, both orally and in writing, through project-based learning. Students will demonstrate an increased ability to comprehend and solve basic problems more effectively by applying their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills to address challenges they encounter through the lessons. Additionally, these experiences will help students develop a better attitude toward solving problems and increase their confidence. Through this curriculum, about 40 juniors and seniors each year will learn how to design and create working models that represent machines or machine components used in real life, by: • Building models around themes that push brainstorming. • Analyzing cause and effect. • Making observations during testing. • Displaying and communicating data. • Creating working models.
