Our STEM II students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test by designing, 3D printing, and assembling their very own ice fishing rods! Using the design process, they refined their prototypes, ensuring both functionality and durability.
But the learning didn’t stop there! 🌎🐟 Throughout the unit, students explored land, water, and fish conservation efforts in our local ecosystems, creating insightful presentations to showcase their understanding.
The grand finale? A hands-on day out on the ice! Students put their custom rods to work, testing their designs in real conditions, an unforgettable way to blend engineering, environmental science, and outdoor adventure!
