6th and 7th grade Seminar students wrapped up a month-long challenge presented by Cincinnati's Design Lab in which they were able to research, design, and build a model play space focused on innovation, sustainability, and construction. Students were grateful to receive feedback from MKSK's landscape architect, Kevin Dicke, staff, and current EDGE upperclassmen! #wearebeechwood

What better people to give feedback to my 8th graders on their Leprechaun Traps than our Kindergarteners!❤️ #wearebeechwood #Thatsjustagreenbox #STEM

Leadership Challenge! ✅️ Ss learned communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, and presentation skills & taught lessons to grades K-6! They ended by bringing author and olympic gold medalist Mary Wineberg in for a presentation for our Elem school #wearebeechwood

7th graders began their leadership challenge with some awesome community volunteers this week! I love how authentically they reinforced the importance of the core skills we stress in @BHSSeminar ! #reallifelearning #theEDGE #wearebeechwood

8th grade Idea Lab Ss have started their first 3D printing challenge in the new IDEA Lab 2.0 using @tinkercad and our new @dremel machines!! #wearebeechwood #EDGE

The truest form of the Beechwood Way... my own Ss spending time after school on a Friday to help my son practice kicking before playoffs tomorrow. No incentives. No rewards. Just awesome kids encouraging him and being genuine role models.❤️🤍 #wearebeechwood

@beechwood_tiger @CincyShirts @beechwoodsup @WittmerBES @BeechwoodEDGE Can't wait to see the final product in store!❤️🤍

Our 4th graders have been working on their EDGE Challenge with @CincyShirts! In learning about design and branding, they have created t-shirt designs and the winners will soon be sold at Cincy Shirts! We are grateful for this partnership and our students enjoyed practicing the core concept of "Communicate and Collaborate" through this challenge! #wearebeechwood

At Beechwood, our middle school level (6th through 8th grades) and Beechwood High School have both earned BLUE, the top rating on Kentucky's state accountability system! #wearebeechwood

Providing Ss the environment to embrace the learning experience, not just the learning outcome, makes our EDGE program so powerful! ❤️🤍

EDGE Challege in the making for my 8th graders! Excited for Ss to share their products with the @BeechwoodBrew! Thankful for the collaboration to help make their work meaningful and purposeful! #wearebeechwood #Dremel #3DPrint

Those little crownbearers! 🤍❤️

After weeks of planning, designing, paper and material prototyping, learning @tinkercad, learning @dremel slicing, and 3D printing, my 8th graders finally got to take their final fidget spinners home! #wearebeechwood #idealab #theEDGEexperience

Incredibly blessed to collaborate with our @BeechwoodCnslrs. 7th graders explored @xellofuture and saw how it can help them streamline their interests, careers in those areas as well as in demand careers! @beechwood_tiger Ss really do have the EDGE! #wearebeechwood

7th graders were given their EDGE Media Design Challenge today! A special thanks to Ms. Smith for taking the time to talk Ss through her vision for the most traveled hallway in the building! Now we need some design tips from @kaleidoscopedaw and Ss! 🐅 #wearebeechwood #7thSeminar

Such a fun start to our Media Design Challenge! Ss tested their awareness and observation skills by looking at how much they could recall and draw from our own scoreboard and then went and saw how they did! #BHSSeminar #NoFearofFailure #wearebeechwood

Friday called for some fresh air to share our first @BeechwoodEDGE mini-challenge of the year! Ss combined their creative skills with their engineering skills to create pop-up greeting cards to be used throughout the year! ❤️🤍🐯 #wearebeechwood #seventhgrade #seminar
