Electric Motors and Generators
In this lesson by Wisconsin’s KEEP program, students will build an electric motor, identify household items that use electric motors, and reflect on the role that generators play in this system.
High Tech U Elective Course
In this semester-long elective using activities created by SEMI High Tech U, students will explore diverse education and career pathways related to high tech industries with a focus on semiconductors. In the course students will build professional skills, personal skills and make connections.

Material Properties
Matter is all around us. Many students intuitively know that wood is harder than dough. This lesson gives them the starting foundation for understanding how scientists look at materials and decide what category they fit into.
Stanford Biomimicry Challenge: Crisis Interrupt

A Deeper Dive of the Engineering Design Process
Working with Device Quality at Amazon Lab126 for the second summer, my Education Transfer Plan (ETP) is to create more depth and complexity to the engineering design projects I developed in my first ETP for my English Language Arts (ELA) courses at AdVenture STEM last summer (2018).
Antenna Rotator Gearing
Students will make observations and inferences about different gear ratios and types of gears. Students will rotate through different stations where they will first make individual observations and record them.
Build Your Own Pocket Microscope
This engineering design challenge will allow students to build their own structurally stable pocket microscope using basic materials that include glass beads, plastic straws, index cards, tape, binder clips, paper clips, and a light source (eventually integrate their cell phone cameras in a new c
