Bringing Innovative Opportunities to Learn About Bioscience in Maine.
Onboard the Maine Mobile BIOLAB, grade 5-8 students solve engineering design challenges and work cooperatively to design a product or process using model STEM activities developed by Educate Maine in partnership with Learning Undefeated that integrate content knowledge aligned to the Maine Learning Results. This program is offered at no cost to the schools.
The Maine Mobile BIOLAB offers cross-curricular STEM experiences. These activities will introduce bioscience to students from Grade 5 through Grade 8, and allow students to engage with the engineering design process. Educate Maine will provide the materials needed to complete engineering design challenges focused on brainstorming, designing, and testing. All activities focus on students designing solutions to problems and allow for collaboration and exploration of the content.
