     The students are having a fantastic time exploring STEM; our first engineering design challenge was a great success!  We worked through the engineering design process as we were developing our projects.

Students worked collaboratively in groups to design a hot air balloon out of common everyday household items.  They had to use their math knowledge of weights, measurements, volume, as well as their science knowledge of air pressure, wind, and matter.  After learning from videos and pictures from the internet, the students designed, as engineers, their very own hot air balloons!  Check out the pics!
