Another Generation of Generators
My 2024/2025 CAHS intern working on a design challenge to help students better understand physical electricity. Here they are ready to install wind power, solar power and an electrical load.
Metro High School 2024 Intern
This is my Metro Intern for 2024. Their capstone was to design a series of three design challenges that focus on ecology, quantume effects, and biomechancs. They rocked it.
Workshop: Partners not Pets
This workshop looks at the way humans, animals, and ecosytems interact with Applied STEM and engineering.
Workshop: BioEngineering Basics
This workshop looks at the way simple machines interact with materials in the natural world. Applied STEM and engineering.
Design Challenge: Build a Covalent Atom
In this design challenge, students must understand valence shields, atoms and covalent bonds to show phases of matter.
Design Challenge: Birds vs Mammals vs Insects vs Bacteria
In this design challenge we will .look at four unique life forms on an urban farm. What do they have in common, how are they different? What do they need?
Design Challenge: Interview for Your Future Job
In this design challenge we will play a word association game to create a road map for a future career.
Design Challenge: Reframe a Problem
In this design challenge we pretend to be encountering an elephant blind. How does the way we look at a problem change us?
Design Challenge: Mastering Fear
In this design challenge we explore the intersections of time, biology, emotion, and courage by creating an emotion hourglass.
Design Challenge: Duct Tape Trivia
In this duct tape design challenge, students must resaerch and create a solution using duct tape and data. No ducks harmed!
Design Challenge: DIY Chicken Feeder & Waterer
Students must find a way to combine three simple items to create an efficient way to feed and water animals.
Design Challenge: Lewis Structure Spelling Bee
In this design challenge, we introduce atomic symbols, quantities, and bonds in physics, chemistry, and biology.
Design Challenge: The Alcohol Family
This design challenge explores the alcohol molecules and the basics of the Lewis Structures. Using magnets and steel rods.
Design Challenge: Build a Stomach
In this Design Challenge we will explore how living animals digest food and create energy and wastes by creating a stomach.
Design Challenge: Prepare a Microscope Slide
In this Design Challenge we present students with the opportunity to see material on a slide and how to see it.
Design Challenge: Six Simple Machines
In this Design Challenge we create a game of reducing objects into the simple machines that comprise all machines.
