PHEARLESS PHRAGMITES PHIGHTERS (and their STEM resources)

My friend Beth Topinka’s students have created this awesome STEM resource. Her students were national champions last year and have continued their problem-solving efforts. (You can follow them on Twitter at @PHRAGPHIGHTERS.)

Here’s how she describes it:

The team's goal is for teachers across the state to use the resource and inspire students to take

action. May-June, the new Phragmites stalks are perfect for investigations & engineering

design challenges. Great way to connect students with their local government to tackle a

genuine environmental problem. Creative opportunities abound! eBook, VR, and more!
