Although direct instruction is needed at times, hands-on activities allow them to connect the content to something more impactful.\r\n\r\nMy students were encouraged to think creatively and challenged to develop their social skills as they communicated differing ideas. Most of all, they were challenged to think critically. They learned through doing—mastering concepts that can often feel vague when taught only through direct instruction (e.g., weight distribution and low center of gravity). A sincere thank you for investing in the lives of my students!\r\n\r\nNot only do experiences like this allow my students to understand academic concepts on a much deeper level, but they also help foster confidence and perseverance. They learned the value of trial and error, collaboration, and problem-solving as they revised their designs and supported one another through the challenges they faced.
