Extracurriculars

With adult coaches to guide them, FIRST LEGO League teams apply science, engineering, and math concepts, plus a big dose of imagination, to develop solutions to real-world challenges. They also design, build and program LEGO MINDSTORMS-based robots to perform autonomous "missions" on a playing field. Along the way, they develop critical thinking, team--building, and presentation skills.

Open to 4th and 5th Graders

Solar cars are electric cars that use photovoltaic cells to convert energy from sunlight into electricity. These cars can store some solar energy in batteries to allow them to run smoothly at night or in the absence of direct sunlight

STEM sisters is a funded 8 week program that will run from January through April.  This year I am happy to announce that John Glenn will offer this amazing club for 4th and 5th grade girls.  The program will focus on STEM core values through the theme Rockets and Rovers. I am thrilled to bring this club to our Glenn STEM girls
