Off the Grid
Design a home for a family of four (4) in a country (of your choice) in which a boreal forest (taiga) biome is found. The house must be designed for an area that does not have access to a power grid. In addition, the house must include a renewable energy source, one (1) agricultural system, and must solve one (1) problem that is specific to the area.
Prepared Speech
Promotional Marketing
Charitable and service organizations are the backbone of our communities. A group called “Students Helping Grandparents” has contacted your chapter advisor about your chapter hosting an event at a public library, during which chapter members will lead focus group discussions with senior citizens. The topic for the focus groups will be helping senior citizens understand and avoid online cybercrime. The event is Tuesday May 27, 2025, from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM.
Printable: Design a tri-fold brochure.
Wearable: Design a hat that can be given to participants.
Digital Signage: Create an auto-advancing slide presentation that is no longer than two (2) minutes in length.

STEM Mass Media
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are advanced technologies that enable direct communication between the brain and computers. Using electrodes placed on the scalp, BCIs detect brain signals that are then translated into commands for computers. These signals can control various applications, from typing messages to playing video games, solely through thought. BCIs have practical applications beyond entertainment; they assist individuals with disabilities by allowing them to operate prosthetic limbs or communicate when speech is impaired. BCIs represent a remarkable intersection of neuroscience and computer science, offering promising solutions for both medical and technological advancements.
