STEM Update - PTO Meeting Follow UP
Our Design and Technology Class, better known as D&T, challenges students to create and design solutions to real-world problems. The hands-on projects and activities allow students to engage in higher order thinking skills through application and synthesis of knowledge by brainstorming, inventing, innovating, imagining, designing, prototyping, modeling, and redesigning. Learning these skills allows our students to make cross-curricular connections and work collaboratively to build and share knowledge. Listed below are the units of study for 4th and 5th grade.
