In honor of Native American Heritage month, our STEAM lab kiddos learned about the Navajo tribe, formulated a rescue plan for a stranded hiker in Antelope Canyon, and finished their Kachina dolls. Students also built rescue devices and did a Sphero obstacle course.

We love hosting field trips to the STEAM Lab! Last week, Mr. Hardy’s class from FPS kicked off our first field trip of the school year! This group was so impressive as they worked hard coding Spheros and built structures that survived our earthquake simulation!

[Meade County GATE @Meade_GATE]

The STEAM Lab turned into Dr. Frankenstein’s Lab this week as we created our own Franken-circuits. Students also made Papel Picados in celebration of De Los Muertos( Day of the Dead), coded Spheros, and continued working on their SILS projects like Machine Dissection and 3D print
