ASD-N has recently made a shift towards STEM projects rather then traditional Science Fair Projects.  This along with the emphasis on variables and data collection in the spotlight on skills documents (3-8) has created some confusion about how an Engineering or Innovation based projects can fit.  Planning documents at both the elementary and middle/high level have been created for teachers to use for these type of projects.
