Engineering & Design: Home

We are excited to offer our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students STEM based courses integrating Science-Technology-Engineering and Math to solve real world problems utilizing the engineering design process.   Teams of students learn the value of the problem solving process.  These student teams are presented with a problem/challenge and are then asked to implement the engineering design process to work collaboratively to design and create a solution.   We hope this course will set a foundation for interest in the many innovative STEM fields they will encounter in their future.

• Ask Dr. Universe: Washington State University’s Ask Dr. Universe allows kids to explore various STEM topics and get answers to common questions. Have a question not covered on the site? Submit it on their “Ask”page!
• Engineering, Go for It! (eGFI): Discover the nuts and bolts of engineering. This website contains advice on careers, entertaining info on all kinds of fields and links to the eGFI magazine.
• Code.org: No one is too young (or old, I might add) to code. Learn how to build an iPhone game, write your first computer program, draw in JavaScript and much more.
• STEM-Works: In addition to articles and job information, STEM-Works has stocked their site with interesting activities. Test your skills in the reptile quiz. Rescue an athlete in the Bionic Games. Or, simply follow the path of great whites with the Global Shark Tracker.
