Engage Elementary Students in Science with Digital Project Work!
Use these examples of projects created by students to inspire digital project work in your classroom science program.
These multimedia projects were created by students using Wixie.
Using Wixie in Elementary STEM
Deepen understanding with the use of creative technology tools.
Create a Creature
Students apply what they have learned about animal characteristics and adaptation to create a new creature and introduce it to the scientific community.
