Beth White, Charles R. Drew Charter School, Atlanta Public Schools

In this video, Beth shows us how she brings industry intro the classroom. Beth’s integrated STEAM unit challenges students to apply their knowledge of kinetic energy to create wind power. Students collaborate to master art, engineering, geometry, and physics standards by designing and building wind turbines capable of lighting LEDs. During the project, the class is divided into groups, where each is responsible for designing a specific part of a kinetic sculpture. The unit culminates with the class presenting their final design to a real-world client.
