Always our pleasure to work with our future Middie Makers!!

[Mrs. Kiser @KiserClass]

Shout out to Mrs. Kauffman & Mrs. Richardson for serving as our Design Process experts & roller coaster judges! Our 2nd grade engineers learned so much about force, motion, & problem-solving. Their creativity & perseverance were incredible to watch! #LearningByDoing

Across Lorain County, students are discovering what engineers do - identify a need, design with empathy, and create solutions that matter. Kim Kauffman’s class from @MidviewLocal is a shining example of that kind of learning.

AFO Prototypes are coming along nicely in 6th grade STEM/PLTW class @midvieweast. We are almost ready to test to see if we met the design requirements.

In their PLTW STEM class, fifth graders discovered how to use a series of simple machines to build contraptions that solved a problem. They learned their overly complicated chain reactions were called Rube Goldberg Machines.

Join us in an OSU spirit day tomorrow to wish our Buckeyes good luck!!

[Kim Kauffman @CoachKMidview]

Mrs. Horne’s & Mrs. Justice’s classes @midvieweast kicked off @youngeinstitute Pitch Challenge today. Thanks to John Bledsoe from Co-Angler for sharing his entrepreneurial journey. Students were inspired hearing how he turned his passion for fishing into a tech company. #YIPPEE

Launching back into learning like....🚀

East PLTW Design & Modeling students have been using the engineering design process to create air skimmers. Today, they tested their accuracy and precision on the "Air Skimmer Speedway!"

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Believe in them.

[Kim Kauffman @CoachKMidview]

Proud of my engineers and appreciative of this collaboration with @midviewbiomed. My students gained so much from having high school students take time to listen and give feedback,

[Midview Local Schools @MidviewLocal]

Over the past few weeks, 6th-grade STEM students have designed Ankle Foot Orthoses prototypes to help children with spastic hemiplegia, a form of cerebral palsy, walk more easily. The top teams presented their prototypes to guest judges from our MHS Biomedical Sciences class!
