Help me give my students an opportunity to explore the creativity part of the engineering design process. We go through a lot of modeling, designing, building, sketching and presenting in STEM class. We need help!

My Project
In our STEM class, we focus on the engineering design process to inspire creativity and innovation among students. This approach incorporates hands-on activities and critical thinking, allowing students to engage with concepts in a meaningful way. Specific items such as building materials, Cricut Explore 4, and markers are needed.
The primary goal of this project is to empower students to take ownership of their learning.
We aim to encourage collaboration and communication, as students work in teams to brainstorm, design, and test their ideas. This not only cultivates creativity but also promotes essential skills for their future careers. Furthermore, the diversity within our student body makes this project unique. Each student brings their own background, perspective, and set of experiences, which enriches the collaborative environment and drives innovation.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
