Weekly STEM Announcements
EHS STEM Academy Weekly Newsletter 11/1/19
STEM Friday - Oct 25
We have STEM Fridays on the last Friday of every month, this is a day where all of the students attend activities that are hosted by the STEM Faculty. The students had six different events to choose from, here are pictures from the Trebuchet Demo and the Possum House Install. The Trebuchet did a fabulous job of launching things across the athletic fields. The possum house was installed in an effort to combat ticks. Some data indicates that possums kill most deer ticks they encounter and thus inhibit the spread of Lyme disease to humans.

This talk had to be cancelled due to school being closed on that day. We will reschedule it, stay tuned to find out the new date.
