This lesson is designed to encourage students to explore their interests and pursue their passions while diving into the world of STEM. This lesson takes place in a classroom for one semester. 1 hour will be allotted every Friday of the week to implement this project. Students implement their projects individually since most of the hands-on part are done at home.
