Junior STEM Program 4th – 6th

In order to get credit for a completed project students need to do the following:

1)  Make sure the parent and student has registered.  You only have to do this once. Register HERE.

2) Send a photo of the completed project.

3) Send a YouTube link of a video of the project. The student does not have to be in the video, however, their voice should describe the project.

4) Send a 1/2 – 1 page description of the project talking about:
a)  Did it work the first time?
b) Did you have any problems making the project?
c) How did you solve any problems?
d) What did you learn from this project?

Send the Photo, YouTube video link, the description (Word or pdf format) to:  MississippiSTEMAcademy@gmail.com . Make the email subject:  Junior STEM, {student name}, {project name}
