From Discover, to Explore, and then to Challenge, students will understand the basics of STEM and apply their skills in an exciting robotics competition while building habits of learning, confidence, and teamwork skills along the way.

Safety Patrols are school student volunteers from upper grade levels. The Patrols direct children and help them be safe from traffic hazards. Patrols also serve as role models for younger students and serve in leadership roles by helping facilitate school activities (field day, bike rodeo, turkey bowl, etc.)

Students design a car using materials given to include a solar panel and battery pack.

Finished cars are raced at a district wide event.

STEAM Team is an after-school program for 3rd grade students.

Students use science knowledge, creativity, and grit to work through each challenge.

STEM Sisters is home to a diverse group, committed to an intersectional approach for empowering girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields.
