Kindergarteners @Herndon_ES collaborate with their partners and use the @HESlibSTEMtech makerspace to create a boat to get their bears across the river without getting wet. So much cheering for everyone! #fcpspog#problemsolvers @HESkinder1
Check out the ingenuity of @Herndon_ES 2nd graders, engineering custom beehives to help the dwindling bee population deal with extreme temperature, lack of pollinatinators, parasites, & pollution in the @HESlibSTEMtech Makerspace! Do you spot the working fan? ๐คฉ @FCPSSTEAM
