USA Project

• TEAM MEMBERS
• Andrew Bartus
• Roberto Colon
• Albert Kim
• Paul Kim

18
Motivation

• This project was inspired by the thought that
  many students in elementary school have a hard
  time learning geographic information about the
  United States by studying traditional maps our
  intent is to provide an educational resource to
  children so that they may learn about the
  geography of the United States in a fun way.

19
Goals of USA project

• An interactive map of the United States with
  illuminated states and capitals that will help
  the children learn about the geography of the
  United States
• USA project mounted in wall frame to hang on the
  wall for easy presentation
• Utilize different colors to help children
  visually identify each state through the color
  difference

20
Semester Progress

Creative Problem Solving Workshops

• Egg Drop

• Team Members
• Fred Grandlienard
• Matt Hockemeyer

24
Standard The Nature of Science and Technology

• Students work collaboratively to carry out
  investigations. They observe and make accurate
  measurements, increase their use of tools and
  instruments, record data in journals, and
  communicate results through graphical, written,
  and verbal forms. Students repeat investigations,
  explain inconsistencies, and design projects.
