education need not entail the usual projects geared to a few hours or a few days. This is especially the case given our patent endorsement that includes all S.E.S. levels.
The only requirement needed is an Internet connection, which most schools already have. With a computer lab set-up in place, the S.T.E.M. class runs either as an elective or preferably as a typical High School technology class.
In this light, students learn and use website development, word processing, spreadsheet, slideshow, drawing, and social media tools. The final website design rewards the students with a portfolio that encapsulates their learning for the year. Surprisingly, from our experience flight testing prototypes of this class, students actually enjoyed doing all that hard work.
Imagine that! Given our innovative S.T.E.M. model, the class is offered in various options, where student interest drives the curriculum. For example, a student who wants to become a marine biologist would take the Lab in the "Adventures Undersea" option.
On the other hand, if the student wants to be an astrophysicist, then the option becomes "Adventures in Outer Space." Either way, the student learns the same S.T.E.M. skill set no matter which pathway is taken. (188 pages)
