Is your class struggling with a STEM or Science Project?! We can help! The DISCOVER STEM Partnership can provide in-class assistance for almost any STEM or Science Project. Sometimes all you need is a second hand to answer students questions, cut cardboard, glue things together, or even problem solve with the students.

Robotics 101
Robotics 101
Before the hands-on-activity, as a class we discussed the basics of Robots, such as, types of robots, uses for robots, ethics of robots, and components of robots.
Students got free time to play and code with Dash and Ozobot Robots for the remainder of class. The students had to use the block base coding part of each robot app. This helps improve their coding skills and increases the challenge.
Intro to Manufacturing
Intro to Manufacturing
In this lesson, we first discussed the concept of manufacturing. We discussed the various types of manufacturing and the steps from beginning to end in the manufacturing process. We specifically looked at powedered metal manufacturing, as that is the most popular type of manufacturing in Elk County.
Next, the students got to compete in an assembly line activity. We split the class into cube factories with at least 4 - 5 students per group. We also had 1 - 3 cube artists.
After the assembly line activity, we went over Die Pressing and the students got to see a demonstration of a simulated 'Die Press'. The simulated 'Die Press' is a small table sized button maker that helps explain the fundamentals of Die Setting and Die Pressing.
3D Design and Modeling
3D Design and Modeling
In 3D Design and Modeling, the students get to learn all about 3D printing and 3D design. The students use 3D Pens from 3Doodler to build various types of 3D models and designs.
Please Note: The CEC only has 12 3D Pens.
We also recommend a classtime of at least an hour for this activity.
Intro to GIS (Elementary Level)
