Students will engage in a dynamic, self-driven exploration of the many facets of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) throughout history. Through a series of micro- and macro-focused components, students will develop a deeper understanding of and appreciation for how various contributions forged the America we know today. The project will culminate in a STEMistory Museum that showcases the students’ compendium of research and creativity. 

Students will engage in a dynamic, self-driven exploration of “The American Dream.” They will begin by examining what it means to be American and how “The Dream” materialized by studying a variety of primary sources. The students will then develop a definition of “The American Dream” by concentrating on a specific assigned decade in time. The project will culminate in a junior class museum that showcases various pieces built by students that represent what shaped America throughout the decades and their own lives.
