National STEM Day 2022
National STEM Day 2022 was held on November 8, but local schools and afterschool programs extended their amplification of STEM programs and activities for a whole week and beyond. From high school students studying and experimenting with enzymes to elementary students engaging in a paper roller coaster challenge, students flexed their mental muscles through problem solving, storytelling, studying, collaborating, and drawing conclusions. Check out the images and videos to get a taste of the STEM learning that occurred last month.
Shine 2022 SHINE SPIES SUCCESS
Build/Fly/Code at Colonial Academy in WindGap
Students in Samantha Siegfried’s class at Colonial Academy in Wind Gap are developing computer science skills as they engage in building, coding, and flying drones. Once the drones are built, students will learn and utilize block coding to manipulate the drone’s flight. Through a partnership between Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance (PaTTAN) and For the Win Robotics, the Build/Fly/Code initiative allows students to explore computer science opportunities through the use of drones. Drone kits were disseminated to intermediate units throughout the Commonwealth as a means to increase and expand the number of students receiving computer science, a major STEM priority in the state.
