Goal
To teach lessons to help students learn the value of teamwork and perseverance. To contribute to shaping the students minds and helping them become critical thinkers, complex problem solvers, and creators using engaging hands-on tools.
What will be done with my students
To create a learning environment that helps children engage in projects that reflect their ideas and how they see the world. By providing real world challenges where teams of students collaborate with each other to solve problems by inventing, creating, communicating, and continuously iterate as they use the design engineering process.
Benefits to my students
The students will learn to collaborate with opportunities for students to interact, experiment, and create overlapping projects. In this imaginative space of making and problem solving, students will refine their creative thinking while building projects they care about. It's important to know how to build, explore, test, and experiment because breakthroughs don't just happen. Learning by trying is the future for our students.
