Product description
<p><strong>EXPLORATION EDUCATION'S STEAM ENGINEERING UNIT: UNLEASHING THE POWER OF STEAM </strong>(STEM)</p><p><strong>Project-based:</strong> Embark on an engaging, project-based learning journey with Exploration Education's Engineering Unit. Throughout this course, students will construct five dynamic projects, integrating theoretical principles with hands-on applications. A prime example is the the creation of an earthquake shake table. Students build and test different structures in order to see how the earthquake's frequency plays a huge role when considering how buildings are engineered. </p><p><strong>All Materials Included: </strong>Everything needed for project completion is conveniently provided, including even the smallest essentials like paperclips. The only tools required—such as scissors, a glue gun, pencil, and spoon—are simple items students can readily supply. </p><p><strong>Self-Directed Learning:</strong> This program allows students to navigate lessons and experiments independently, fostering a sense of ownership over their educational journey. </p> <p><strong>STEAM Course Description: </strong>Dive into the intricate world of engineering with our STEAM - Engineering Unit. As students progress through dynamic online lessons, they will immediately apply newfound knowledge by building and experimenting after each lesson. This hands-on approach ensures the seamless integration of theoretical concepts into real-world problem-solving. Similar to STEM, this STEAM course covers the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, but also includes Art. Art integrates the creative, innovative human expression which affects our responses, productivity, and enjoyment.</p><p><strong>Length of Course: </strong>The course is designed for two lessons each week, for eight weeks. This course provides a comprehensive exploration of engineering.</p>
