STEM at Ridgeland Elementary School
Ridgeland Elementary School students participated in engaging activities on the STEM Bus! Students learned to code robotic cars by creating a set of codes for the robot to follow. Students learned that coding is used to build programs, websites, and data processing. Additionally, students worked through the Engineering Design Process (EDP) to design their own home while only using straws, which included various components such as being sturdy, having at least four walls, and a roof, or creating their own car that must roll while being pushed without the wheels falling off. The focus of each lesson was for students to plan and carry out an investigation while constructing and designing using the EDP.
