Our "Mission to Mars" STEM Extravaganza was a blast! Rising 3rdโ12th grade students put their engineering skills to the test, designing and programming Mars Rovers to navigate the challenges of space exploration. From dust storms to rescue missions, they tackled it all with creativity, collaboration, and innovation. A huge thank you to United Way of South Hampton Roads for partnering with us to make this out-of-this-world experience possible! ๐ท #STEMinSPS #SPSCreatesAchievers
The @SufVAschools STEM Extravaganza continues to amaze!!! We had students from all of our schools represented today. They had to build code to navigate the rover through a sandstorm and to rescue an astronaut!! Great job @KatelynLeitner1 and the entire team!! #SPSCreatesAchievers
