Our students have successfully returned to the classroom after over a year of virtual learning. A repaired tennis court would allow my students the opportunity to get the physical activity that the majority of them have not had due to restrictions of Covid. Being confined to their homes has had an impact on their overall health physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.
This tennis court net will allow kids to be kids and play outdoors so that we can meet the needs of the whole child.
During virtual our completed a STEM Challenge where they constructed a small prototype of a tennis racket and used household items to make a tennis ball and test the durability of their tennis racket. The pandemic has shifted the idea of STEM careers to the forefront of society. Students realize how things have changed and allowing them to further their studies of the evolution of tennis and relate it to STEM careers as well as give them the much needed physical movement that has been lost over the past year is a win, win for students, schools and society.
We must get them moving again and as we do so broaden their minds and help them to master the use of the Engineering and Design Process so that they will become better thinker and problem solves and begin to seriously look at STEM as a real career from them.
