My Project

Students were out of the classroom and learning only through online resources during COVID, even though this did help keep some students on track, many need to learn how to work and think again.

In this classroom, students are working in small groups of 2-3, with new groups every day, using specific engineering challenges that have high interest and are applicable across a number of physics concepts.

This shows them how science is integrated into everything and allows them to see how their work can then be applied to multiple areas of interest.
