Weeks of March 23- April 3, 2020

This resource has opportunities for students to put their engineering skills to good use! Each page gives ideas related to the 5 feeder subjects for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math). Each opportunity can be adapted across many grade levels, allowing for easy modifications to make it more basic or more challenging, as appropriate.

Give these a try! I'd love to receive feedback if you try any of these challenges. Take a photo or video of your process or technology. It can be shared with me at jsylvia@drregional.org.
