A Night Full of STEAM

(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math)

Thanks to our staff and PTA we had a great night at our first ever STEAM event at Glenbrook.  Our partner, Wayne, from the Golden Apple STEM institute joined our teachers to create a variety of investigations, games and art projects to help our students become create inquirers.  

Students all had an opportunity to enter into a raffle to win a Code and Go Mouse or a Ozobot.  These fun coding toys are popular among all of the students. 

Mrs. Corrao, one of our art teachers, shared some water creature art activities. The students enjoyed being creative and had fun playing a game with the sea animals.  

                       

Mrs. Chandler-Roth introduced students to a motion activity.  Students needed to create a car with an "egg" passenger. When the car raced across the room, they had to be certain to protect their passenger.

                 

Mr. Wayne, from The Golden Apple STEM Institute brought everything we needed to successfully complete an egg drop. Students designed egg catchers and dropped their egg from the top of a tube into their egg dropper.  The goal, save the egg; we don't want it to crack?  Congratulations to all of the students who won emoji smiles by successfully dropping their egg.

                   

Mr. Wayne also brought us some architecture equipment, lasers, mirrors, and view finders to build and design with.  The students had a great time exploring the materials and completing the activities. 

Have you ever done a "Mystery Skye?"  These students spent time questioning students from another part of the world just to see if they could figure out where they live.  The students asked yes or no questions and the team worked together to figure out the location of the Mystery Skype classroom.

We watched our Alka Seltzer Rockets take off under the guidance of Mr. Chavez.  This chemical reaction was one of the favorite science activities of the night.

Mrs. Vargas enjoyed helping students to create catapults that flipped cups.  They were flying everywhere! 

Giovanni Gregory and Kaylen Meza were the lucky winners of the STEAM Night drawing. They each received a coding robot so that they can continue their learning at home. Congratulations Giovani and Kaylen!!! Thanks to the PTA for sponsoring the giveaway.
