Chelsea Harrison

Georgia Teachers Initiative Grant Winner
  • Commerce High School of Commerce City Schools
  • Amount Received: $500.00

Using the Teacher Grant for Innovation, Ms. Harrison will implement “Building Electric Race Cars,” which will engage 9th grade physical science students in designing and constructing small, functional electric race cars. By combining physics principles such as energy transformations, force, and motion, students experience hands-on STEM learning. Through this hands-on project, students actively engage in learning, preparing them for future careers in STEM while addressing the need for sustainable, energy-efficient solutions in transportation.

Innovation in my class plays a crucial role in engaging students and enhancing their learning experiences. By incorporating hands-on, real-world projects like building electric race cars, students apply scientific concepts creatively and critically. Innovation fosters problem-solving, teamwork, and the ability to experiment and iterate, making learning more meaningful and dynamic. It allows students to connect classroom knowledge with real-life applications, sparking curiosity and preparing them for future STEM fields.
