Welcome to the STEM Club! In this club, you are going to learn about different STEM topics by doing different hands-on activities. You will explore different engineering fields such as civil engineering. Our club meets once a week for nine sessions which is divided into three units: Bridges, Exploring Energy, and Natural Disasters. Each meeting we will be learning and exploring different STEM concepts and how we can use them to create our projects. During our club meetings, you will be designing, creating, and building mini-projects. Sometimes, you may need to complete the mini-project outside of our club meetings. That's okay because you can upload a photo or video to show everyone your completed project. I may use visual graphics such as photos, slideshows, and video clips during class. I encourage you to ask questions because that is how we learn. If you have questions about supplies, you can send me a message. A supply list for each club meeting will be uploaded to the classroom a week before the club meeting. *****SIBLINGS AND FRIENDS******* All learners must be enrolled in the class to be fair to the other enrolled learners.
