After spending two months learning about environmental challenges and exploring different potential solutions, the eighth grade students were able to show off their projects at a STEM Fair to their friends and families. The projects included topics such as Solar Living, Wind Turbines, Solar Powered Cars, Hydraulic Bridges, Water Filters, Ocean Acidification, Biomimicry, Magnet Powered Trains, and Human and Magnet Powered Energy.
Each project group learned about the science and engineering behind their projects, but also developed their own project proposals, plans and budgets independently and learned how to face challenges that arose throughout the project development process. The projects were impressive and the corresponding videos were a creative way for the students to show off their new knowledge.
