Congrats on making it to the very last unit! This is my favorite part of the year as we begin to go off on working on all sorts of cool different projects, and we learn about startup companies (which are near and dear to my heart as I used to work in one prior to being a teacher). For the remainder of the year we will be working on our end of year projects. For this, you have a couple options:
Startup Company Project Outline
STartup Company project - Need FindingStarting off on day 1, we will be covering need finding. By this I mean finding a need that is worth solving and which our created companies can set out to fix. Especially for engineers who are inclined for innovation, creativity and cool technology, this is possibly the most important part of the process as there is a big difference between creating an idea and creating an idea which addresses a meaningfull and financially sustainable need. Very often, the creativily inclined get lost down a rabbit whole of what they think a company should do or a product should be while losing sight that their opinion isn't necessarily the one that matters most.
*If the startup company project isn't your cup of tea and you wish to do one of the alternative projects, the following is a word document of some of the STEAM projects and competitions I wish to accomplish at some point in the next year(s). Peruse through these and see if anything jumps out at you, or we can sit down and figure something out. end_of_unit_project_options.pdf
