STEM Day 2015

I had the pleasure of finding presenters for both Collin's and Reagan's classes for STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, & Math) Day this year, and luckily I know some amazing people who agreed to go to the school prepared with awesome presentations and activities.

Our friend Julia works for Raytheon, and she brought excellent coding and engineering activities to share with Collin's class.  Somehow I did not get any pictures of Julia, but I did get some pictures of the fun activities.

The above picture shows the class during one of the coding lessons.  Collin is on the right wearing a green shirt, and his face is behind his paper.

 The students made gliders and after flying them, they had an opportunity to reengineer them to make them fly greater distances.

Auntie Cyn and Uncle George are science teachers, and they visited Reagan's class with a fun, hands-on activity to teach the children about the reason for the seasons.

Reagan was summer in the above exercise.

Both classes were excited about the activities, and the event was a huge success.  I am so very thankful for the volunteers who made the day extra special for Collin and Reagan.
