STEM Day
Shout Out! to the Wilson Academy of Applied Technology (WAAT) for inviting fifth-graders who are in the Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) program to STEM Day for the fourth straight year. On Nov. 25, 73 fifth-graders from our different elementary schools participated in hands-on activities led by WAAT staff. The students worked collaboratively in teams to "drive" Sphero robots around the classroom, create devices that could channel a marble into a shipping container and design a gadget that could protect an egg if it was dropped from a height of six feet. Shout Out! as well to Nicholas, a fifth-grader from New Hope ES, for all of his great quotes and pictures in the Wilson Times article!
