Designing and Building Models

STEAM labs and maker spaces are popping up in schools across the world. They provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, mathematics, reading, writing, engineering and tinkering.

Our students are redesigning our classroom space to accommodate different science and math activities for the next two weeks including cardboard VR construction, prototyping, designing and building models.

We will start reading about Einstein and exploring more black boxes. Teens who read about the personal and intellectual struggles of scientists feel more motivated to learn science. That was the finding of a recent study out of Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington.

Audio stories are also an excellent option when travelling or stuck in traffic. model and design audio stories
