Abstract
This paper reflects on the implementation and use of a STEM Transmedia book in a middle school classroom, and how constructivism lays the theoretical foundation for the transmedia projects to help teams of students learn STEM. The article further reviews the project-based delivery system that aligns with the constructivist learning theory and transmedia book chapter projects.
