Kindergarteners learning how to code with Osmo!

Cubelets robot blocks enable all sorts of robot construction and learning opportunities. Students began to build robots immediately out of the box! They also made Sphero swim 🙂

Students were given a Family STEM Challenge goody bag at the conclusion of our first STEM Day. I was very impressed with the time, effort, and creativity that went into creating the maze rides!

I am so very proud of my colleagues and their implementation of K-5 STEM lesson plans on our first school-wide STEM Day! Students were engaged, practiced the 4C’s (communication, collaboration, critical thinking skills, and creativity), and teachers did a wonderful job stepping back and letting their students take the lead! It was amazing 🙂

Students had so much fun with this STEM Challenge, “Bring Back the Lights”, even though it took them 2-3 STEM classes to figure out how to light up the holiday lights. They practiced the 4 C’s (communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking skills) and after many iterations of the process and perseverance, all were successful!

Students explored and had fun with light and shadows by tracing the outline of their foil sculpture’s shadow and coloring it in to create shadow art. #STEAM
