Welcome to the STEM:IT Elementary course! This program is designed as a comprehensive library of topic-based challenges across core subjects of English Language Arts, math, science, social studies, and AFNR (agriculture, food, natural resources). Throughout these challenges, students learn to harness the engineering design cycle to creatively solve problems!
STEM:IT Challenge topics utilize common skills found in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) which includes logical and creative thinking, the design process, and collaboration! Each STEM:IT Challenge includes the following activities and materials:
- Lesson on Core Subject
- Discover the Engineering Design Cycle
- STEM Challenge & Engineering Journal
- Unplugged Supporting Activities
- Assessment
Additionally, every STEM:IT Challenge topic comes with the following projects to get students proficient in 21st Century skills and technologies:
- Coding Activities & Games
- 3D Print & Design Projects
