 One example of one project that has become a favorite in my classes is "The Battle of the Bots". This is a school event that incorporates science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM).  The purpose of the Battle of the Bots is to increase students’ knowledge of applied physics and robotics concepts, while providing students with opportunities to develop leadership skills working on an interdisciplinary team that would eventually compete using the robot they built in competitions. Students are thereby introduced to possible career opportunities while learning how to work as a team player to be successful.
