2021 Recordings
2021 Theme 1:
“How can I improve the health of my city using STEAM?”
We are asking students to choose a topic connected to Environment, Transportation, Food Security, Parks & Recreation, & Affordable Housing and to create a product that is a proposal or solution they would pitch to officials from the city of Boston to advocate for change. The product could be in the form of a letter, poster, infographic, model or prototype, video, social media campaign, etc.
2021 Theme 2 (Lego):
“How do we improve how goods are delivered to our homes and businesses in the city?”
Students will research Transportation and build a Lego structure that will improve the transport of cargo around Boston.
This will end with a 2 hr Virtual Lego Challenge with students presenting their products, learning about robotics professions, and learning about College level robots that are built here in MA.
