Grand Challenges

The Grand Challenges are STEM-focused project-based learning products with a global perspective using the Engineering Design process. Grand Challenges are ongoing large-scale projects completed during the semester with set deadlines for the six elements that guide students; Research, blueprints, technology tool, materials/supplies, engineering, and product demonstrations. Students work on research to support their idea and product, develop blueprints of their product idea, select a presentation tool to deliver their information, gather recycled materials/supplies, and engineer/construct their product to address the issue from their chosen region. Teachers use rubrics to provide students with feedback along the way. Students present their products to their peers in the school or present to students at other schools in the district. ​The student examples display the spectrum of "quality" to "needs work" final products.

Citizen Chats

The Citizen Chats are problem-based learning STEM-focused projects with a broad perspective using the Scientific Method process. Citizen Chats are ongoing large-scale projects completed during the semester with set deadlines for the four elements that guide students; Citizen Chat Intro, Team Brainstorming, Problem/Data Collection, Analyze Data, and Chat Presentations. Students work on actively collecting data to support their question/topic, analyze data connected to their question/topic, constructing a method to present their findings, and share outcomes from investigating their question/topic. Teachers use rubrics to provide students with feedback along the way. Students present their Citizen Chats to their peers in the school or present to students at other schools in the district. The student examples display the spectrum of "quality" to "needs work" final products.

What Students Are Saying

"My brother recommended it because I’m not good under pressure or having a lot of stress and he says that in stem all that will go away because of the presentations. I want to not be shy and be good at talking to people".

"I would love to join the STEM program because it would be a great opportunity for me to show my creativity and ideas. I'm looking forward to working in groups and getting a hands-on learning experience. I believe that STEM will challenge me because it will help me get in touch with the technology and engineering side. Overall I feel like STEM will benefit my future toward my career".
