My Students

My students are expressive in their thinking and thrive when given an opportunity to demonstrate what they understand in an innovative way. They have a desire to be successful and embrace a new way to demonstrate their love for learning.

My Project

Students will be given a STEAM challenge. They will use the integrated concepts of science, technology, engineering, art, and math to solve the challenge. Working in teams, they will create a solution to the challenge and will solve a real world scenario. The LEGO pieces will be the material used to address an open-ended solution as they construct a model that expresses their understanding and demonstrates their level of knowledge gained from the learning experience. The students will use the LEGO pieces endlessly as a means to model their work.
