Our second annual STEAM Fest event will take place on March 10th this year. In fact, STEAM Fest will officially kick off Science Week instead of closing it as it did last school year.This year's motto is: MAKE a Difference-Think Globally, Act Locally
While we have been meeting as a core committee over the last few months, and promoted it in various ways around the school, the real action and visible preparatory activities have just gained momentum.
The kids were introduced to STEAM Fest prior to Christmas Holidays in order to start gathering up their ideas and building their teams. Upon return to school in January, student project sign up began for a spot at the Fair. The deadline to fill in the Google Form was last Friday, January 13th however, we left the intentionally left the receiving responses option activated on the Google Form and it has paid off. We have had a continuous flow of submissions over this past week as well.We are taking things up a notch this Friday. The predominately 10th, 11th and 12th grade STEAM Team leaders who have been actively speaking to students across Secondary in Assemblies, will be running a Mini Maker Meet-Up at the cafeteria during lunch time. As soon as the bell rings they will roll down a mobile maker cart and run 2 different activities of their own choice,each.
These activities are designed to capture student interest, imagination and enable everyone to have a 'taste' of some of our newer Gadgets, and design activities as well as encourage additional groups to sign up a project.
Below are the photos from the event.
