In these Challenges, you will need to think like an entrepreneur as you create real solutions to messy STEM problems. You will need to use your knowledge and expertise in creative ways to invent new products that meet customers’ needs. You will need to be able to recognize when you need to learn something new about STEM, your customers, or the situation, and be willing to work to learn it. But entrepreneurship is not just about building great solutions. At the end of each Challenge, you will need to convince a panel of judges that your solution is worth funding in a process called “making a

About the Collaborative Project Our goal is to develop, implement, and refine a program for integrating engineering design practices with an emphasis on emerging technologies and utilization of recyclable materials into home environments of families. There are currently two components of this project – engineering kits that can be completed in any environment, particularly in home environments, and the identification and development of distinct, personal engineering projects. Examples of the Personal Projects “My project was meant to help people in third world countries or people who can’t

Expand Latinx Learners’ Authentic Experiences in Computer Programming The curriculum was designed for and renovated through the participation and feedback of middle school students. It integrates basics of Computer Programming and Mathematics concepts and activities needed to represent digital video and color images. It draws on the almost natural motivation of users, middle school students, with digital image and video. The curriculum contains two Levels. Level-1 introduces the concepts of image and video representations. Level-2 takes these basic concepts to a next step by introducing object

Essential Question: How can I increase students’ knowledge of mathematics, music, and STEM careers by using music and/or poetry as the context for learning? Learning Objectives: Students will be able to develop listening, reading, and comprehension skills by hearing and reading stories about the history of music in Memphis and learning about famous musicians. Students will learn mathematics by examining rhythms and beats in various genres of music. Students will learn mathematics through music by writing their own song, rap, or poem and using an app to set it to music.
