The STEM class at Mass Academy is taught by Dr. Crowthers, and it follows an Independent Research Project for the first large portion of the year, from August to February. My project is about integrated fluid chambers into the outsoles of shoes to alter the plantar pressure distribution to reduce foot strain during physical activities. A lot of this class is based on individual work at home which cannot be procrastinated. I really like this class because it allows us to go deeper into a topic that we're interested in.
