Project Description
Engineering for Everyone
RECIPIENT: Lee Anne Brockman, Forest Lake Area High School
AMOUNT: $900
GRANT OVERVIEW
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) provides areas of great opportunities, but often students don’t understand what STEM is and the role it can play in their lives. At Forest Lake Area High School, the Engineering for Everyone program is designed to let students imagine, create, modify, and explore engineering through mindful play. Students have access to specifically designed “building kits” that focus on electronics, robotics, computers, and similar devices. These kits provide students with the materials necessary to engineer their own solutions…oh, and they are also great fun!
“The high school’s Media & Technology Support Team class (Tech Team) was responsible for helping to write the grant, review materials for purchasing, and for developing an understanding of how the materials work.
