Students: Please refer to Google Classroom for assignments and announcements pertaining to STEM class.

STEM classes in 5th grade are project based.
Students learn how to work together and how to use the Engineering Design Process during engineering challenges.
Students will be learn that there are multiple ways of going about solving challenges.
Part of the process involves failure of design.
This is something that many students struggle with at first because they always want to have the exact right answer.
I work with students on understanding why failure is important (because we learn from it) and how to persevere to try to solve the problem.
