Creativity in STEM class for almost 600 students

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.
