Our First STEM Challenge

We had our first STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and math) building challenge this week and I was really surprised with how well the students did.

We learned about sun and shade and their challenge was to build a tent to cover an ice cube to slow down the melting of it outside in the sun.

The creativity was flowing, the determination and focus was astounding and the cooperation and compromise of working with partners was so impressive!

I cannot wait to introduce more STEM challenges and have our little problem solvers become even stronger with this skill!
