I have seen this for myself and heard many similar reflections from teachers and colleagues involved in developing and integrating the STEM fields via engineering projects. Such reports from the field suggest we are reaching students who are difficult to reach, and that their involvement in the class is enriching their own and others’ learning of important content. (Of couse, they also seem to be learning important social and life lessons, as well.) How powerful and motivating for students *and* teachers — as well as those of us who are fortunate to work behind the scenes and collaborate with teachers like Paige and her colleagues!
