This session demonstrates how to transform middle school study hall into an active STEAM Learning Lab by pairing academic accountability with hands-on challenge stations. Students first complete their required academic work (classwork, homework, or late work) before earning access to self-directed STEAM exploration. Guided by PBIS "BARK" expectations (Be Safe, Act Responsibly, Respect Others, Keep Achieving), students engage in robotics, 3D design, stop-motion animation, and engineering challenges.
