Survivor STEM Experience
In Summer 2017, entering freshmen were invited to Canutillo High School to attend and attempt to survive a two-week camp created and presented by MaST Academy Scholars. The MaST scholars were guided by mentor teachers in writing TEKS-aligned lesson plans that combined math and science with genuine survivor skills. Throughout the camp, students applied the lessons in order to:
- Build and launch hot air balloons
- Use the stars to navigate
- Tie different types of knots
- Construct catapults
Students then had to apply their newfound survival skills to make it back when taken on field trips to: Hueco Tanks and Insights DinoTracks site.
MaST would like to thank ADP, Canutillo ISD, and MaST Mentor Teacher Dani Pena for leading the MaST scholars through the wild territory of researching, authoring, and surviving a STEM summer camp!
