The STEM Challenge Training is a 9-day course that teaches students each component and job that goes into an entire STEM Challenge (Figure 1).
Each of the 7 steps (Identify Problem, Research, Develop Solution, Design, Build, Test and Evaluate) are taught explicitly in 15-30-minute lessons.
By the end of the challenge, students will understand the STEM Challenge job roles (Project Manager, Designer, Engineer, Supply Manager), how to share ideas and communicate observations, collaborate with a team, and complete an entire STEM Challenge.
