Technology and Engineering Teacher, v78 n3 p8-13 Nov 2018
In this article the authors describe an Integrative Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education Design-Based Learning (I-STEM ED DBL) activity that invites students to delve into the science, technology, and engineering related to the production of Ötzi's copper axe and to speculate about the circumstances surrounding his death. This activity was implemented at Emory & Henry College's Summer Scholars Program, a week-long academic summer camp for middle school students in June 2017.
