The STEM Lab is Buzzing with Activity
Kindergarten students visited the STEM lab to explore forces and motion.
1st grade students had a great time exploring roots and fruits with a hands on model of a flower. Students took turns playing the roles of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers.
4th grade students explored forces and motion and simple machines as they created chain reactions.
5th graders designed an alarm system for a pencil box. It was quite a buzz!!

Aviation Day Camps at Fernbank Science Center
This long-running, popular STEM based camp provides hands-on aviation experience. The camp is packed with activities that help future aviators understand science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. More importantly, it cultivates students’ sense of wonder, imagination, and creativity. Students will be exposed to careers in aviation through several field trips to airports and other aviation facilities, including component testing and assembly. The culminating experience will be a team build-off competition, in which the students will be challenged to build and fly an aircraft of their own design. Engineers from Lockheed Martin Aviation will mentor the teams.
