The core or nucleus of the model is the challenge.
The challenge is what the students and teachers throughout the whole process of working with the Atom model must initiate from and return to, and is why it has a central placement in the model.
Challenges can be found in the challenge section of the ForEMlink platform: foremlink.com/challenges. All activities in this section will focus on how to find and formulate a challenge.
