"Blowing in the Wind" - GROOVY SNEAK PEEK! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...Count down to "Blowing in the Wind" - Groove on over to our website then click JOIN NOW! to do the "E" in STEM! Engineering Design Challenge: You are a groovy mechanical engineer who is inspired by the story of a young boy from Malawi, who, at fourteen years old, battled through extreme poverty to build a series of windmills from scratch that could generate electricity for his village – a luxury enjoyed by only 2 percent in Malawi. Using only the materials in your Groovy Lab in a Box, can you design and build a windmill which can fetch a pail of grooviness for those in need? Blowing in the Wind - Engineering Design Process During your Engineering Design Process, you will design and build several different kinds of groovy windmills. Explore and investigate forces and motion, potential and kinetic energy associated with windmills, various parts of a windmill, how different blade designs affect performance and how energy is transferred from wind into usable mechanical energy and much, much more. #STEMists do the "E" in #STEM!

Think outside of the box. That's where the magic happens.
Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by “doing” and “experiencing,” students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. It’s this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
