6th Grade Design & Modeling
Design & Modeling is a new class at Parker Middle School. The class comes from Project Lead the Way, an organization that creates STEM curriculum for K-12 schools. STEM stands for, Science Technology Engineering and Math. In Design & Modeling, students will start by exploring the concepts of Engineering and Technology. Student then learn how to create technical drawings on paper and on a computer using CADD tools. The students spend the last part of the quarter working as a team to create a complete playground design and proposal including computer models.
