Thanks so much for your patience! 😊 We are excited for everyone to get started as well.

STEML GOOGLE SITE: SLIDE DECKS & ENG JOURNALS

• STEML GOOGLE SITE

• All slide decks, engineering design journals and other relevant information for educators to participate in this challenge will be posted on the google site. We will not be using a Google Classroom this year. For simplicity, any DDSB educator with the link to the google site above will be able to access all the materials & info.

• The main slide decks will house all the content and information needed to run the project successfully with your classes. The idea is that educators will project-on-the-screen and go, except for the first few slides which are dedicated to teacher background info and understanding for the project.

• There is an accompanying Engineering Design Journal that goes along with the Challenge so that students can track their progress and reflect on their learning. We encourage you to print these off for younger students and use digital versions for older students.

All slide decks & Eng journals will be uploaded to this STEML Website so that they are easily accessible for all teachers. There will not be a google classroom. All content materials will be posted HERE.
