My Project

My students love using and applying the STEM methodology when exploring a variety of topics.

Building, designing, and revising is essential to critical thinking!

Using these supplies, my students will use their skills in 3D design to build a shelter to protect from the sun and the heat of sunlight. They will monitor temperature using Bluetooth thermometers and compare that to the ambient temperature collected from the Weather Station.

Together we will learn how to effectively create shelter from the sun and sunlight through designs and redesigns of 3D printed shelters.
