In other classes you have the teacher guiding you along telling you what to learn or how to learn it, but in this program you kind of go your own path and you do your own learning.
Description:
Each team presents its solution to the Innovation Challenge in three different venues for evaluation by a panel of business professionals and higher-education faculty. First, they post a company Web site on our Internet server for online evaluation. Second, they create an interactive exhibition booth at the Connecticut Student Innovation Expo. Finally, they deliver a 5-minute oral presentation to demonstrate their innovative solutions. In this photo, a student dressed as a diver to promote his team's computer game greets a judge at the team's exhibition booth.
Challenge Statement:
Each school team, consisting of at least one teacher and six students, will be “challenged” to develop a computer-based learning game that teaches middle school students about a specific science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) concept and related careers.
