This was actually a digital media project, however since we were doing 3D printing in STEAM, too, I figured I would add this.

My name is Jessi Blest and I'm a 7th grade student at Mountain Sky Junior High. My favorite thing in this class is the coding and 3D modeling which mainly falls under to more creative aspect of STEAM. My hobbies consist of art, cosplay, and social media. I'm an international traveler and I've been to a couple different countries. My favorite genre of TV show, Movie, book, ect. is horror and mystery. My favorite subject is chemistry, I've studied it since 5th grade.

Why do you think students should learn to code? Why do you think it's important? 

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's important to learn to code because our whole society is beginning to be reliant on technology. There are so few computer scientists because internet wasn't widely available for students to learn from. since our future will be so dependent on technology, everyone should learn how to operate it from a more in depth perspective.

Which was hardest or most challenging, why?

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging project, previously mentioned, was the wind turbine project. Specifically aerodynamics is something I have a hard time comprehending to the fullest extent. To add on to that, I also have a hard time understanding the practicality and operational functions that engineering consists of.

STEM is important in out modern day age because we are beginning to rely on technology so often that without STEM jobs, most people, workplaces, or even other jobs wouldn't be able to function.

# data[].attributes.body
STEM stands for “science, technology, engineering and math” and the STEM curriculum is considered the tool needed to succeed in the future workplace. Examples of some jobs that would be considered STEM are engineering, robotics, aerodynamics,3D modeling, and programming.
