Maple Crest STEM Middle School

Ms. Willis’s students put on their engineering caps this week by making a paper bridge. The bridge had to span a 12 inch gap and be made out of a single piece of paper. No other supplies were allowed. Students are learning problem solving skills through the design process.

Mr. Hemmerich’s Stem Classes brought out the stem kits on Friday. These kits are a fun way to emphasize the importance of following directions and using STEM principles to create a product.

What a great first week!! Our teachers got together this morning before the kids arrival for a little photo shoot. We all agreed it’s going to be a great year!!!
