I'm trying to incorporate more STEAM-related activities this year, so we're
about to tackle an engineering project this quarter. We started out by
reading an article on the Three Gorges Dam on thinkcerca.com (great
resource; check it out if you haven't, yet!) and next week, we'll start
looking at examples of civil engineering success and failures, and after
that, the students will have to figure out how to build a bridge that comes
in under cost and holds the most weight. I'm still in the process of
hammering out the fine details, but that's the general idea.
