STEAM Summer Reading
Summer reading is an opportunity for our STEAM students to maintain skills and build interest in our program. We encourage all STEAM students to read the summer reading novel AND complete the summer reading project. The summer reading project can also be used as a summative replacement grade in the 21/22 school year. Excerpts from the novels will be used in classroom discussions and projects in the fall.

3D Printed Rovers
6th grade STEAM students enjoyed incorporating math and science standards to design and 3d print rovers. Students were able to research the different types of missions for which NASA develops rovers. Students researched the sizes and used ratios and scale factors to design their own rover for a imagined space mission. Students were even able to Google chat with a NASA expert. Students ended this project by being able to take home their 3d printed rover!
