Single Lessons
These single lessons, designed by teachers, engage students in STEM through hands-on, authentic challenges. Each lesson focuses on a specific engineering concept, giving students the opportunity to explore real-world problems and develop creative solutions in a single class period. Ideal for easy classroom integration, these lessons offer practical applications while helping educators make meaningful engineering connections across subjects.
Core Content: Integrated Curriculum
Grade Levels: K-12
Time Required: Dependent upon length of lesson (typically 1-3 class periods
ME Career Connections: Students engage in hands-on activities using circuits, microcontrollers, or programmable devices to explore how microelectronics power everyday technologies. Through problem-solving and design, they build an understanding of how skills like coding, circuitry, and systems thinking connect to real-world microelectronics careers.
