Montessori by the Sea is launching a new hands-on STEM program for our upper elementary students in grades 4–6. The program will serve approximately 30 students, divided into three small groups of 10 students each.
The goal of the program is to encourage exploration, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving through science, technology, engineering, math, robotics, coding, and design-based challenges. Students will work in teams to imagine, build, test, improve, and present their ideas in a supportive Montessori environment.
Projects may include robotics and coding, LEGO Computer Science & AI activities, bridge-building challenges, Rube Goldberg machines, battery-operated signs, mini vehicles, LED costume design, sewing and service-based design projects, cardboard prototyping, simple circuits, and creative engineering challenges using recycled and reusable materials.
