STEMtrepreneurship involves using science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to transform innovations into economic goods. The document outlines a STEMtrepreneurship project where students will use inquiry to identify a need in their school or community, develop a solution using integrated STEM skills, and use digital media to communicate and publish their results. The project plan includes using tools like Skype, Google Sketchup, Wiki Spaces, and various digital presentation media to complete stages of the project such as project planning, design, collaboration, peer review, and presenting preliminary designs.
