STEM y un cuento de hadas... con un toque diferente (Grupo 1)

I love the classic Fairy Tales and I love reading them with children.   In this 4-day STEM camp, we will start every class by reading and discussing a well-known fairy tale. After the story, I will  set up a STEM challenge that requires the learner to create something that will solve a problem.

STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering and math.
Most challenges will focus on Engineering but other areas my be needed to complete the challenge. 

Class Format:
1. After reading and discussing the story,  I will present a STEM challenge to go with the story. We will use the Engineering Design Process (EDP) to think through the challenge. Learners will have time to design, create, and share.

2. After they share their creation, We will then read the fairy tale with a twist, which is told from a different character's point of view. We will discuss how the point of view can change the reader's reaction to the problem and solution. 

3.  After the fairy tale with a twist story, learners will be challenged to change or adapt their original design to meet a new STEM challenge with a little bit of a twist. 

4. We will discuss how they can adapt their creations and repeat the EDP process. 

5. Once again, learners will be given design time, time to create, and time to share. 

6. We will wrap up the class by reflecting on what worked and didn't work, how they adapted their design to meet the new challenge and what they can change to make it better.

*PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE REGISTRATION*

Please feel free to message me with questions, but I do work at a brick and mortar school during the day so answering messages will most likely be after those school hours.  I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible. I am in the Central time zone.

REFUNDS:
I use the 'LIMITED' refund policy for my classes.

If a student is a 'no show' and/or misses a class for whatever reason, I will not refund or do a special make-up class.  A class recording will be posted in the classroom after the session is completed for your reference. If all registered learners are a 'no show', there will be no recording. If you have questions about the class, you may email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS

* I do try to allow students in a couple of minutes before class time to chat and get to know each other before we start class, but when class starts we need to stay on topic.
