Enchanted by the Force of STEM *
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away...gifted students from near and far slayed dragons, defeated the Death Star, climbed beanstalks, and built lightsabers. Join this band of STEM powered teachers to gain two unit ideas for your K-6 gifted students. Take home ideas for both Star Wars STEM and Fairy Tale STEM. Join them you must!

NOTES:
Sharing 2 units... Fairytales and Star Wars
Strategies to raise the ceiling on STEM so the learning stays elevated.
Should look different from what students see from their regular classroom.
How do you know if you're successful? If students take ownership and participate in designing and completing the challenge,
Frame STEM Challenge with a Driving Question
Set the problem... give backstory...
"Built a Chair for Goldilocks"
What types of data do we need to collect? What materials do we need?
