Our first build challenge while learning about the Engineering Design Process. They had 20 straws, 10 marshmallows, and 1 yard of tape to build the tallest tower they could. 5th grade: 45 inches. 6th grade: 25 inches. #stem #futureengineers

School culture is not created by a mission statement, catch phrases or even a set of beliefs, but it is created by the day to day ACTIONS of the whole staff.

I am so proud of this team. It was our very first race ever and these runners gave it their ALL!

Morning STEM classes are building robots that we will code to run autonomously in 7th grade and using zSpace to learn about the engineering design process by building homes for their new pet dinosaur in 5th grade. We love being back in the lab! @PeruParkside

Me: “Wrap up what you are designing, I have to kick you out to send you to lunch.”
Student: “I’m good, Mrs. Heaver. I don’t need to eat today. I can stay in here.”

1 year ago yesterday, it was announced that schools would close for 2 weeks. 1 year ago today teachers began to scramble, trying to figure out how to create lessons to be taught in a remote platform. Teachers have learned a lot in the last year. https://t.co/9dMKFUSweB

A “room” full of 6th graders that turn their screens on at the same time and say “Thank you! You are appreciated!” Is the best Xmas present ever.
