Our First Week

This was a big week in STEM enrichment.  We spent some time getting to know each other with icebreakers as well as discovering that STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.  All of the Knights seemed very excited about what lies ahead.  We also worked on some team building activities because scientists can't change the world alone. 

Throughout the week we also used a variety of skills that (by no coincidence) are also skills that good scientists use.  The students felt that the skills they focused on most this week were GOOD COMMUNICATION, ANALYSIS, DESIGNING & TESTING A PLAN, DRAWING CONCLUSIONS, MAKING MODELS, ASKING QUESTIONS, and CLASSIFICATION. 

Pictures coming soon!
