environment as it relates to active learning in a remote instructiondelivery classroom. Kolb’ s experiential learning theory was used to guide this study. The qualitative datagathered were analyzed thematically. Analysis from the data showed that remote learning impactedstudents’ ability to support each other in project-based learning processes. The effect of remote learningalso impacted students' access to peer group resources, materials, and tools needed for effective project-based learning. Results showed that some students preferred working with other students cooperativelyon project-based activities while other students preferred working individually on project-basedactivities. The findings show that team building in high school students

each other’s roles and tasks. Furthermore, students have shown significant improvement in communication, teamwork, public speaking, and presentation skills. Due to the focus on VEX Robotics Competition, the course development differs highly from many different STEAM programs in that it focuses mainly on the field of mechatronics and robotics engineering.
