As a prototype for a materials sorter at a recycling plant, #POE students designed a fully automated machine to sort 3 different types of marbles in under 2 minutes. Here is one of the groups that nailed it!

Environmental Sustainability students had great success testing their creative prototypes for remediating oil spills. @STLPLTW @PLTWorg

[Mrs. Melton @meltonkhs]

Thanks @EarthWaysCenter & @msdprojectclear for lending us these great EnviroScape models to help @STLPLTW @PLTWorg Environmental Sustainability students learn how contaminants affect our watershed & how water is treated and distributed. So lucky to have @mobotgarden in our town!

@kirkwoodrobots scoring some points but struggling at regionals today, tech can be touchy! GO Kirkwood!

[Brian Beyer @thebrianbeyer]

@kirkwoodrobots are at FTC regionals, 36 teams competing for 5 spots to the FIRST Robotics state championship. @KirkwoodHS . Good luck Pioneers!

Could you design a water filter to survive an emergency situation? #ES students are on the right track. @PLTWorg @STLPLTW

[KHS Engineering @KHSPLTW]

TBT the amazing work showcased by our #EDD students this year.
