STEM:

STEM is a game-ified journey from the role of pre-historic climates in spurring adaptation, to programming robots and terraforming planets. Through play, students learn biology, chemistry, deduction, and probability. |
|
The RPG campaign for this unit begins in an uncharted world. Students use the ideas and skills gained from the course to cooperate, explore, invent, protect and prosper as their own self-made community. Fans of MineCraft, Subnautica, and Outer Wilds are encouraged to enroll. |
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the parts of an atom and physical versus chemical reactions
- Discuss how habitat contributes to evolutionary and societal changes
- Demonstrate deductive reasoning and basic programming
- Employ the scientific method in a simulated survival adventure
Three semesters and over 60 students have shown outcomes we are excited to build upon.
