STEM Challenges

STEM challenges, designed to promote problem-based learning, immerse students in a world of creative problem-solving. These challenges present students with real-world problems that they must tackle using readily available materials. The beauty of STEM challenges lies in their ability to encourage students to think critically about various issues and experiment with solutions. A well-crafted STEM challenge should find that sweet spot between being too overwhelming and too simple, offering a problem that's relatable, achievable within a set timeframe. It should also strike a balance between having a definite solution and multiple possible solutions, allowing students to engage in trial and error and compare the efficiency of their approaches. Through STEM challenges, students learn not only to seek solutions but also to embrace the process of discovery, learning, and refining their ideas.
