All K-8th classrooms will be showcasing and sharing recent engineering units, design thinking projects, Genius Hour activities and robotics curriculum with peers and families. Ask your child what s/he is sharing for National Engineer Week, because we are all makers! Students are exploring the processes of inquiry-based learning and project-based experiences as they share with authentic audiences in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) fields. A big thank you to all of the parent volunteers and community support that has made our celebration possible! Questions, email Ms. Vecchioni.
