Children learn the achievements of the amazing tennis-playing sisters Venus and Serena Williams and the physics involved in the game of tennis. Sponsored by the Broward Public Library Foundation.
Students work together in STEAM Teams to promote kindness and unity in working with others to complete the challenge and practice public speaking and communication skills when sharing their designs. During each lesson, students visit a cross-curricular destination, and engage in collaborative, inquiry-based, student-driven learning grounded in real-world connections, meaningful problem-solving, and social-emotional learning. Each destination/ lesson uses collaboration, problem solving and the Challenge Island STEAM building steps to engineer and build using the materials provided.
