Welcome...

 The South Jersey STEM & Innovation and Partnership (SJSIP) joins with New Jersey STEM Pathways Network (NJSPN) launches #NJSTEMTogether Communities Challenge. This is an annual challenge for New Jersey  high school students to come together and design a solution for a problem that their community is facing.          

High School students came together to solve the challenge faced by their community. The final presentation would be a virtual event to gather all the participants online and they will present their solution to a problem. The students will have to identify the issues that their communities are facing today and how they would like to address the issue. For example, in the current scenario, this can involve designing a framework for addressing any pandemic going forward to building a solution for testing access or organizing an efficient way for food drive donations. The teams will have an opportunity to work with mentors from different industries depending on their area of problem and their solution. 

PBL Question: 

• High School Students: What can student community do to build a resilient community in response to the current pandemic?

Final Presentation

Students presented their communication plan to address the challenge that their community is facing and present their solution to the policymakers. The process has to be data driven which will include the researching the data and include the adversaries they may anticipate in their proposed design or solution. The solution can include designing a strategy or designing an app or a website or an urban planning map to address the problem.
