North Riverside Elementary – Practicum in Engineering (Mobile Classroom)

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

The Practicum in STEM: Mobile Classroom offers students a unique opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in an innovative, real-world setting. In this course, students manage and operate a fully equipped CTE Mobile Classroom—a large trailer outfitted with state-of-the-art technology and its own network. The mobile classroom travels to elementary and middle schools on a scheduled basis, where practicum students lead younger students in engaging, hands-on activities designed to showcase different programs of study within STEM. As part of the practicum, students are responsible for planning, organizing, and executing these educational activities, gaining valuable experience in teaching, project management, and technical support. This course allows students to deepen their understanding of STEM concepts while fostering an interest in STEM among younger students in the community.
