Each of five projects and 25 STEMvestigation has an associated story. These 25 stories provide a jumpstart for informational discussions and hands-on exploration.

STEAMStart is a long-range project with short-term modules and single day activities. STEAMStart builds from the simple need to construct a home to the very complex structures required to bridge a river. STEAMStart presents literacy components, cross-cutting standards and authentic assessment with math at every turn and corner (as well as edge and vertex). Outcomes require patience to design reasonable solutions to real-world problems. In the process, students use core skills in aesthetically beautiful project-based learning. Fabrication requires the development of a logical sequence and network: build spatial awareness; use math skills in real world challenges; develop problem-solving tools; increase manual dexterity and attention to detail.
