Description
The Purpose of this STEM Module is to introduce complex mathematical concepts to students by giving them something interesting and fun to do: design and build a car. This activity is designed to provide them with context for learning by introducing the STEM concepts around cars; something we all experience and can relate to. Boredom is a major challenge to STEM education.
The module is designed to combat this by first unlocking the child’s creativity and then allowing them to reflect. Reflecting on our thoughts is important, and at every step of the process, we ask the children to reflect and share their thoughts. This is the beginning of scientific reflection; it is the essence of discovery.
