Class Overview:
We are very excited to be able to use the Crunchlab curriculum (created by Mark Rober) for this hands-on, project-based class, students will explore the exciting world of engineering by designing, building, and testing real creations. This year we will use the Mission Mag-Lev and Carnival of Collisions curriculum. Students will develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and confidence as they learn how engineers think, work, and problem-solve using the engineering design process. We hope to be able to create a 3 year rotating shedule with this curriculum!

Class Overview:
In this hands-on class, students explore the exciting world of STEAM, which stands for Science,
Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. Each class begins with a quality book that
introduces key concepts related to one of the STEAM disciplines. After the story, students dive
into a fun and creative STEAM project that encourages them to think outside the box and
express their creativity. Teamwork is an essential part of the class, as students collaborate to
build problem-solving skills, improve communication, and develop social skills. It’s a lively and
engaging way for young learners to explore, create, and grow in both knowledge and
imagination! This class is on a 3-year rotation so students can continue to take the class for
multiple years without repeating material.
Course Highlights:
- Engaging, Hands-On Learning – Students actively explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) through creative projects.
- Story-Based Lessons – Each class begins with a high-quality book that introduces key STEAM concepts in an exciting way.
- Creative STEAM Projects – Students dive into fun, hands-on activities that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation.
- Collaboration & Teamwork – Group activities help develop social skills, communication, and cooperative learning.
- Encourages Creativity & Exploration – Open-ended projects allow students to think outside the box and express their ideas in new ways.
- Three-Year Rotating Curriculum – Students can take the class for multiple years without repeating material, ensuring fresh and exciting challenges each session.
- Builds a Strong Foundation in STEAM – Helps young learners develop a love for science, technology, engineering, art, and math through hands-on discovery.
This interactive and exciting class makes learning engaging, creative, and fun, sparking curiosity and imagination in every student!
