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: BioTech Basics
This workshop looks at the way simple machines interact with materials in the natural world. 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.
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.
