Summer flew by for many.
As much as I love my summer days, I was very excited to begin another year at Peck Place.
That's because The Peck Place Math Quarters kept quite busy over the summer designing and planning a multitude of events, lessons and activities for this school year.
Peck Place School hosted the first (hopefully annual) Family STEM Night.
What is STEM?
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
It is important for our students to engage in STEM activities and lessons.
We were privileged to have the CT STEM Academy provide a multitude of hands-on activities for our students.
With over 100 students attending STEM Night they were able to:
build rockets and launch them
conduct buoyancy trials
control a Sphero robot with a Smartphone/iPad device
design and construct a bridge
build and explore catapults
program "robots" with Sharpie
design structures
make super paper airplanes
building towers
and so much more...
Many thanks to all who came to Family STEM Night! Hope to see you again next year.
