STEM is an amazing elective at Generations Christian Academy. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. It combines subject areas to give students a chance to explore interests in different types of engineering. Mrs Booth, the middle school science teacher, teaches the class. The students work on engineering projects to learn design and building skills.
Alan Rizkalla, who is in 5th grade, said, “I like STEM because we do a lot of projects and exciting things.’’
Sixth grader Abigail Sarachi said she likes the hands on aspects of the class. "It's fun," she said.
Some examples of STEM activities are crash testing HotWheels cars with eggs on them and designing bridges out of marshmallows and spaghetti. The class even includes a soda bottle rocket launch. Groups compete to see whose bottle soars the highest and farthest.
Students in grades 4 through 8 can take STEM. It is a great opportunity to learn new things. If you have an interest in engineering, it’s a fun elective choice.
