Here is a list of the currently scheduled college rep visits for the next couple of months. If you are interested in attending, please go down to the guidance department to get a pass.
September (15) St. Francis- 10:21 (20) Juniata College -1:58 (26) Penn Highlands- 1:58 PM (28) Penn State Altoona- 1:58 October (3) Messiah College- 10:21 (17) Lock Haven- 9:35 (26) Carnegie Mellon- 9:35 Pitt Johnstown- 1:58 (27) IUP- 11:07 (31) F&M- 12:26 November (1) Indiana University of PA TO BE DETERMINED: -Shippensburg University -Wilson College -Clarion College -Robert Morris University -Delaware Valley College The 3D printer in Mrs. Young's room at the Jr/Sr high is connected and students have started to explore! Senior high students will be independently working on how to use the software and programs in order to design an independent project or be a student mentor to an elementary of junior student.
At the end of September/beginning of October junior high and elementary students will be presented with real-world STEM situations and use the engineering design process to solve a problem and then create a prototype using the 3D printer. In this process all students will be introduced to CAD software as well. It is an exciting time! Below is an image of the first student-product made with the 3D printer! Imagine you had 2 hard boiled eggs, string, straws, 5 paper towels, clay, and pencils- could you make a nest that would support an egg so it doesn't crack when dropped?
I bet you can and some 6th grade students had the opportunity to use the STEM designing process to come up with a solution to support a 5 foot drop! Through the engineering design process students asked questions, imagined a solution, planned a solution, created a product, improved on their initial product, and then communicated the results and what worked best. The students worked collaboratively in an effort to improve their listening and collaborative skills. See some of our students in action! Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year! A new and eventful school year is upon us and I am looking forward to meeting with parents and teachers to discuss the needs for their students. We have just received a new 3D printer that students will be using this year to explore the STEM and engineering design process. Students will have the opportunity to learn how to use the 3D printer in order to design and create some new ideas and then several opportunities to work with it through out the year.
Here is a new website discovery that students can try at home to tie in STEM components with math curriculum: http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/activities/ AND http://pbskids.org/island/teachers/ I will be available during Elementary Open House on Thursday September 15th from 6-7 PM at the various elementary schools to greet parents and provide information on our gifted services. I look forward to meeting you! |
