Investor
Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
A Champion For Learning - $110.00
Goal
Students will explore their engineering/architectural skills to create a functional bridge structure.
What will be done with my students
Special areas, called Makerspaces, will be set up in the media center. These areas will house a variety of STEM projects. These spaces will allow students to independently or collaboratively create a variety of projects using the supplies and instructions purchased by this grant.
Students will look closer at real-life bridge designs—and make original structures that use the same important elements or they can explore their engineering side and create something totally new!
These spaces will be facilitated by the media specialist but will be designed so that students can create and explore independently or with peers.
Benefits to my students
Learning by doing provides in-depth understanding of concepts with application for real-life scenarios.
Working in pairs or teams, facilitates interactive group problem-solving and teamwork, especially in conjunction with design thinking processes.
These fun projects will get students excited about learning and also build their engineering/architectural skills and knowledge.
Budget Narrative
This kit will be able to be reused over and over to create a variety of projects for years to come.
