Award winning, Alaska Meets Bermuda Virtual STEM Academy has come back for one week in October!
This virtual academy allows for a cultural exchange aspect that integrates Alaska and Bermuda students. The collaboration would not only allow Bermuda and Alaskan students an opportunity to build on each other ideas but to share cultural and environmental experiences. Project topics range from navigation and stability, motion and energy, cultural comparisons, space, astronomy, meteorology and more!
Explore the wonders of physics, navigation, engineering and astronomy right from your homes! During this week, students will work together via ZOOM with a Challenger Flight Director. Camps will be 5 days long with classes 4 hours each day, including instructor time, team project time, presentations and down time to talk to the other students. The curriculum theme will focus on what it means to explore a return to the moon and what will be needed for humans to live there. Speakers from NASA will also make some guest appearances throughout the week! All materials needed to make the assignments will be provided. Alaska students in 6th, 7th and 8th grade and Bermuda students in M1, M2 and M3.
