Course was ok. I would probably see it more being a science teacher but would be more difficult for some other disciplines to implement.

The course content was clear but rather basic and I was hoping to be provided with more information and detail on resources such as the section in module 4 . In particular I feel the course would have benefited from more resources for
senior students as most of the resources were junior high school based.

A great taster to dip into STEM. Setting a personal goal to focus the learning from the start was really helpful and gave purpose to the learning. Good quality resources and presentations.
