My Project

This project empowers students to integrate STEM and Visual Arts through STOP Motion Design, showcasing their understanding of Migration. They will explore migration and its challenges, connecting these themes to current global issues. The culmination of their learning will be a stop motion video presentation, blending STEM and Visual Arts.

Students will engage with multiple learning modalities, enhancing their comprehension and retention.

This project offers a unique, creative approach to education, making learning both dynamic and engaging. The innovative use of STOP Motion Design sets this project apart, providing a distinctive way for students to express their knowledge.

Such projects are essential for maintaining student motivation and fostering a forward-thinking mindset. By combining creativity with STEM, students are encouraged to explore and innovate, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
