STEM City
Our school will design and construct a large-scale, collaborative “STEM City” using upcycled cardboard and Makedo kits. Each class will create a component representing a different area of science, including forces (bridges and ramps), energy (renewable energy models), biology (habitats and ecosystems), and Earth science (weather systems and landscapes). Students will engage in hands-on design,…
