					<description><![CDATA[With the recent adoption of the Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) in North Carolina’s new science curriculum, students are now expected to use models to demonstrate their learning in meaningful, creative ways. To meet this expectation, LLCA has embarked on an initiative to increase our students’ access to tools that aid in the modeling process. The Bright Ideas grant will enhance hands-on learning across our K–12 school by providing students with safe, age-appropriate cardboard saws to design and construct physical models that demonstrate their understanding of key concepts. By incorporating these tools into our STEAM classrooms, students will engage more deeply in critical thinking, engineering design, and collaborative problem-solving.]]></description>
