Last week, students @RiversideSchool learned about mechanical engineering and built their own pneumatic operating cranes!

Students @RiversideSchool learned about principles of electrical engineering in our November workshop! They had a great time designing their own paper circuits that brought light to their amazing artwork!

We had a great time at our first EPIC workshop of the semester @RiversideSchool! Students used principles of Aerospace Engineering to design and create their own lunar landers. Their designs were put to the test, seeing if they could safely land their astronauts on the moon!

EPIC's last workshop at the Riverside School this academic year. We had so much learning about coordinate grids and graphing a catapult's projectile! #STEMeducation #Dyslexia

EPIC's last workshop at the Randolph School. We had so much fun with you all and hope you enjoyed learning more about STEM! #STEMeducation

Lots of fun learning about environmental engineering at last month's EPIC workshop at the Riverside School! We did cooking mining and learned how containment systems prevent pollution! #STEMeducation #Dyslexia

At last week's EPIC workshops we focused on the field of microbiology. The student's made their own textile bacterial cells and cultured environmental bacteria on agar plates! #EPIC #STEM #Dyslexia

Microfluidics activity at this week's EPIC Workshop at the Riverside School. The students learned how to create microfluidic channels and modeled diffusion. Thanks to the Hwang lab for their expertise! @priscilla_hwang @JessLichtenberg @celeonard18 @RiversideSchool
