新晉工程師 STEM 俱樂部第 1 部分（學期班）

Welcome engineers!  Join us to develop your perseverance and problem solving skills by participating in the engineering design process as we complete a different STEM (STEAM) challenge using various craft supplies and/or materials such as recycled items collected around the house. Some challenges may require specific supplies, and those will be posted in the classroom prior to the start of the live meeting and posted in the class description. Students will learn about and participate in the engineering design process as they complete their challenges. Please keep in mind that depending on the materials and methods chosen, there may not be time to finish the project during the time allotted. All learners of varying abilities and needs are welcome to join.
