STEAM FEST 2023

The ABC hosted the annual STEAM Fest Celebration on March 10th this year, in person and across the school. The event which was a huge success took place across the primary and secondary with primary grades up to and including 4th grade in the performing arts centre and the 5th grade together with secondary in the  Auditorium. 

Each year students from across the school get together to present a variety of exciting ross disciplinary STEAM(  Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) projects. This was extra special as it is the first year since the pandemic that our school has been able to invite guests from schools and organizations in the community. We were thrilled to have them join us and participate in the event. 

This year, we held our first hackathon during STEAM Fest, in which students from the ABC and Maquilushuat students schools worked on teams to solve a local parking and school drop-off challenge. 

In doing so they use a variety of digital and analog resources.

The hackathon was a huge success.

At the end of a rather intense day two very different solutions emerged and were presented. Here is a short video of Hackathon 2023 highlights.

 The community was able to watch segments of  STEAM  Fest throughout the day via the live stream which took place in the Auditorium. This enabled parents to tune in and watch the students showcase their creations and share their ideas. It was inspiring to see the fruition of so much creativity, teamwork, critical thinking and innovation on display.

 The STEAM Fest top project results were announced last week, and the results are as follows. 

The tribal star competition also rendered some exciting results. 

Here is a short video from the event as well as the link to our Flickr album.

This year's STEAM Fest Celebration was a huge success, and we were thrilled to have so many guests from the community. It was a great opportunity for students to showcase their skills and talents and collaborate with other students from different schools. We cannot wait until next year's event and hope to continue to inspire and support our students in their STEAM pursuits.
