National trends are surfacing that recommend engaging students in interdisciplinary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics activities that allow students to think critically across disciplines. This session will illustrate several engaging STEM activities, and examine how critical thinking can be used to more easily reach across disciplines, in the application of a variety of STEM-related concepts.
