Grade 2 students @PlainsPanthers are taking collaboration to the next level. Ss used @briskteaching AI brainstorm as a partner to merge and refine their ideas for a mini golf hole prototype. AI served as a co-designer in designing pathways, obstacles and recycled materials that really work. Students applied their knowledge of properties of matter, scaling and measurement with creativity and precision! @SammonSTEAM @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd @ANikolaTech #PBL #STEAMMachineinnovations

PBL Sustaining Humanity… Our students, already learning about ecosystems, interconnected systems, and biodiversity, made powerful real-world connections. With civic leaders like Senators Hinchey and Rolison as our community partners. The students used their bipartisan letter to the EPA along with @briskteaching AI to help understand and develop models how potential remaining pollution in our Hudson River can affect all life. @TKtalksSTEAM @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd

PBL Sustaining Humanity… After reviewing the bipartisan EPA letter from Senators Hinchey and Rolison, our students were inspired to take action. They collected firsthand data by testing Hudson River water for potential contamination. In analyzing the water in its untreated state, they identified elevated lead levels—revealing how pollution can impact both our local ecosystem and community health. Their findings sparked meaningful work with @briskteaching AI about how innovation and modern solutions can help remove pollution and protect the river we call home. @TKtalksSTEAM @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd

PBL Sustaining Humanity continues! Our students @OakGroveES40 have explored ecosystems, biodiversity, the formation of the Hudson River, and how our river impacts all life. With support from @briskteaching AI, they drafted thoughtful letters and questions after analyzing a bipartisan EPA letter from Senators Hinchey and Rolison. Today, they met virtually with Senator Rolison to share their learning. During the Q&A, he held up their questions and letters and told the students, “My favorite part of being a Senator is this—listening to you.” @TKtalksSTEAM @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd

Amazing project! Amazing educators! Lucky kids!

John Sammon@SammonSTEAM

One of my favorite interdisciplinary PBL projects 🌎✨ @OakGroveES40 students are exploring how ancient river civilizations, civic leaders, modern energy systems, ecosystems, and space science all connect — they are using that knowledge to design solutions for a better future. Real history. Real science. Real-world impact. @TKtalksSTEAM @WCSDEmpowers @drbonkwcsd #PBL #STEMeducation #InterdisciplinaryLearning #FutureReady #TapasApproach
