How does the implementation of 21st century technology, within STEM,
enhance and elevate year 3/4 student learning?
Student A
About
This student is a 10 year old, year 4 boy, and was selected due to his love for STEM education. He has been very open about sharing his passion for science from the start of the school year in 2017. He is a strong-willed student who occasionally struggles with collaborative group work. This student has also been diagnosed Autism and is on the Autistic Spectrum. He has also been diagnosed and is funded for a severe behaviour disorder. However, due to this student's level of engagement in the STEM room, I have never had any behaviour issues.
