Students from the High School had the opportunity to go see Shrek The Musical put on by students at Traverse City St. Francis High School. It was a great experience for our kids. Thanks to Mrs. Nowak for organizing the opportunity.
The 6th-8th grade STEM trip was a huge success!
The STEM trip consisted of:
- Two keynote speakers (the girls loved the nutritionist) 🥗🍖🍱
- Interest-based breakout rooms (my girls had the Day in the Life of a Vet Tech🐢🩺 and dipping 3D shapes into bubbles🫧
- A science fair that had taste-changing fruit, legos, mushrooms, plants, and more! 😝🧱🍄🟫🌱
- And we wrapped up our day touring TechSmith so the girls could see what a real STEM-based office looks like! 💻
