This is the link I used to show different airplane designs. I know many of our engineers were practicing at home last night. I even had a few new designs come through my classroom today! Keep up the good work!

2014-2015 STEM Club
Sorry it has taken me so long to update the blog! We have been up to some exciting things in STEM. Pictures are soon to come!
If you have been keeping up with our adventures, we have been doing a lot of science and engineering in our first few meetings. We built roller coasters our first meeting, and catapults our second meeting. We also watched some video on some real-life catapults, used in the annual "Punkin' Chunkin'" competition that takes place the day after Thanksgiving.
Last meeting, we learned about recycling and its importance. We began recycling for the school this past Tuesday, and will continue to do so every Tuesday from 8:00-8:25, weather permitting. We need all hands on deck, as there is a lot of ground to cover in that short length of time!
I receive a Kano Computer Kit today from Dr. Small. In December, we will begin focusing on technology, and learning how to write computer code, as well as build our own computer! I am working to secure some local guest speakers to tell us how they use writing code in their daily jobs, as well as a Skype lesson with some developers from Microsoft. We are going to be the most tech savvy kids around town!
