The Vision

Throughout the summer, I have been brainstorming about how to enhance the Evangel S.T.E.M. lab experience for 8th grade students.  As 7th graders, these students have been introduced to the Carnegie Mellon curriculum  "Robotics Engineering: Introduction to Mobile Robtics vol.I".  I would like the 8th graders to experience project based learning that encompasses the worlds of Science and Math along with English and Social Studies for the entire semester.  Collaboration!! 

After attending the Cyber Discovery Camp at Lousiana Tech this summer, I have gained insight how to structure my project.  I want to include robotics challenges, a treasure hunt, essay writing, movie discussion, and a storyline.
