Michael at the end of the 20-21 school year designed and made this infinity mirror. A hole in the bottom allows a cellphone flashlight to shine into it. He used the laser cutter to design and make the hunting figure out of glowing orange plexiglass.

Here are photos of 6th grade's efforts through the design process. Cardboard prototypes, 3D modeling, and actually constructing their designs was all part of the process!

In lieu of an in-person review of this year’s incredible STEM projects, we would like to honor the 7th grade upcycling project winners. Students worked hard over a 6 week period to create a product that reuses materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill. The project included studying the lifecycle of materials, brainstorming the use of these materials, creating a product plan, drawing a blueprint to scale, and then creating the final product. The student groups presented their product in front of a “shark tank” of students from HS^2 high school. Congratulations to the winning teams in the categories of product presentation and complexity of product.

Our annual STEM Night was supposed to happen last night and it would have been EPIC! 6th, 7th, and 8th graders would have had various designs and projects to show off. One of the big events of STEM Night was going to be for families to play the student designed and made mini golf holes!

Last Thursday and Friday, the 7th grade STEM students presented their upcycled projects to a Shark Tank of judges from HS^2. The students embarked on a challenge to upcycle materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill. They persevered safely in their building projects and produced some beautiful products that the judges were incredibly impressed with. Way to go 7th graders! Keep the positive attitude and creative thinking going during your virtual days!

7th grade build challenge is underway! They’ve studied the lifecycle of plastic and are now applying that to other materials. They are creating an upcycled product to avoid those materials from going to the landfill. Quite inspiring!

Maddie went the extra mile with not only doing an excellent job on the project she designed and made, but she also created this fun commercial. Gryffindor 4 Life!
