Survivor: Extreme Environments STEAM PBL Project
by Cassie Strahota
What would you do if you were dropped into the wilderness, with nothing but what you could fit into a backpack, and had to survive harsh weather, a hostile location, and possibly aggressive wildlife? Could you survive? In this STEAM project, you will need to research a chosen location in order to best know the equipment and abilities you will need in order to survive. Create a mini survival handbook of the top 10 tips for survival in your environment and make a plan for what you will do first when you arrive at your destination.
