STEM Concepts

robots, developing apps, or designing digital games. ● Use tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi to teach basic electronics and programming concepts.

2. Exploring Technological Impact:

● Discuss the societal and environmental impact of technology, encouraging students to think critically about ethical considerations. ● Assign research projects on historical and contemporary technological innovations and their effects on society.

3. Integration with Other STEM Fields:

● Incorporate technology into science experiments (e.g., using sensors and data loggers) and engineering projects (e.g., CAD software for designing prototypes). ● Use technology to solve mathematical problems and visualize complex data.

Engineering Literacy

1. Engineering Design Challenges:

● Present students with real-world problems to solve using the engineering design process (e.g., designing a bridge, or creating a water fltration system). ● Encourage iterative testing and refnement of designs to emphasize the importance of prototyping and problem-solving.

2. Collaboration with Industry:

● Partner with local engineering frms or universities to provide students with mentorship and real-world engineering experiences. ● Organize feld trips to engineering sites, such as manufacturing plants, construction sites, or research labs.

3. Interdisciplinary Projects:

● Integrate engineering projects with science and technology, such as designing and building a model renewable energy system. ● Use mathematical modeling to support engineering designs and validate solutions.
