This week was all about coding exploration. Students programmed a Bee-Bot to move while strengthening their addition skills, then dove into binary code by translating their names into 0s and 1s and representing them with beaded necklaces!! #STEMLearning #CodingKids #BinaryCode

Coding without computers! 💻❌ This week students explored unplugged coding by giving clear step-by-step instructions to help partners build towers and navigate a race car maze #STEMLearning #UnpluggedCoding #ProblemSolving #FutureCoders #HandsOnLearning

Taking flight with history and engineering! ✈️Students learned about the Wright brothers and the invention of the airplane, then designed and tested their own paper airplanes to see how far they could fly #STEMLearning #HandsOnLearning #AviationHistory #Engineering #Engineers

Ancient engineering in action! 🏛️🔧 Students learned about Greek buildings and put their skills to work by constructing columns and houses using recycled materials and cups. #STEMLearning #EngineeringFun #AncientGreece #HandsOnLearning #FutureEngineers

Traveling back in time! 🏺✍️ Students explored ancient Mesopotamian technology and created clay tablets to experience early writing firsthand. #HandsOnLearning #AncientHistory #STEMandHistory #CreativeLearning #EarlyLearning

Simple machines at work! ⚙️🛠️ Students learned about tools like pulleys and inclined planes and how they make work easier. #STEMLearning #SimpleMachines #HandsOnScience #FutureEngineers #EarlyLearning

Building and math fun continues! 🧱🔢 Our Pre-K students explored shapes, measurements, and problem-solving while creating structures and practicing hands-on math skills. #PreKFun #HandsOnLearning #STEMinAction #CreativeKids #EarlyLearning

Winter engineering continues! ❄️🏗️ Part 2: Students put their skills to the test by designing snowplows, bobsleds, and shelters built to withstand winter storms. #STEMLearning #WinterEngineering #HandsOnLearning #FutureEngineers #CreativeBuilding

Winter engineering in action! ❄️🏗️ Students designed snowplows, bobsleds, and shelters to withstand winter storms while putting their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test. #STEMLearning #EngineeringFun #HandsOnLearning #WinterSTEM #FutureEngineers

Engineering challenge! 🏗️📐 Students used the design process to build towers from paper and tape, explored different types of bridges, and created their own popsicle stick bridges with painted backgrounds. #STEMLearning #EngineeringFun #HandsOnLearning #FutureEngineers #Creative

Engineering in action! 🏗️🌞 Students built structures with gumdrops and marshmallows and tested roof materials to see which created the most shade. Aluminum foil worked best! #STEMLearning #EngineeringFun #HandsOnScience #FutureEngineers

Winter fun in action! ❄️🧠 Students practiced fine motor skills by stacking marshmallows with chopsticks, worked together to build cup towers, and explored how trains move by testing wheel motion with cups and rulers. #HandsOnLearning #STEMFun #FineMotorSkills #Teamwork #Winter

Creative chemistry time! 🎨🔬 Students mixed cornstarch, conditioner, and food coloring to make their own playdough, exploring textures, reactions, and hands-on creativity. #HandsOnLearning #STEMFun #SensoryPlay #CreativeKids #EarlyLearning

From planting to tasting! 🎃🌱 Students planted pumpkin seeds and then tried roasted pumpkin seeds, learning about growth and food along the way. #HandsOnLearning #PlantScience #FarmToTable #STEMFun #EarlyLearning

Engineering in action! 🏗️⚖️ Students used the engineering design process to build structures and test their strength using different materials and weights. #STEMLearning #EngineeringFun #HandsOnLearning #FutureEngineers #ProblemSolving

Apple science in action! 🍎🔬 Students tested apple oxidation, observed results over three days, and discovered lemon juice worked best. They wrapped it up by making and tasting applesauce! #HandsOnLearning #STEMFun #AppleScience #EarlyLearning #FoodScience

This week, our students visited a farm and learned about animals, food production, and life in an agricultural setting!! #FieldTripFun #FarmLearning #HandsOnLearning #EarlyLearning #RealWorldLearning

This week our students explored two exciting destinations: Lowe’s Foods and Grasshopper Farm. They learned where food comes from, saw real farm operations up close, and made connections between the store shelves and the fields that supply them. #FieldTripFun #HandsOnLearning

Our students got a closer look at the world of computer engineering this week. They learned how coding works and even programmed a robot to move using the skills they practiced. #STEMLearning#CodingKids #FutureEngineers #HandsOnLearning
