XIS is getting ready for the holidays. Here are some students baking some sugar cookies for STEM club.
In STEM club the past few weeks we have been building bridges and learning about structural engineering. The students used balsa wood and glue to create structures that will try and support as much weight as possible. The bridges held 13.5, 14.5, and 21 kg!! of weight during the crushing. Great Job teams!
In this project students are building a 3D printer. Once complete they will learn how to use 3d modeling software to create objects and then print them with the printer.
In this project students are learning about circuits and building circuits into things they will wear. From light up wristbands to musical t-shirts the fun is just getting started this year.
This project challenged the students to build a car that is powered by a rubber band. After all cars were complete they competed in a drag race.
In this project students were to build a bridge to hold up as much weight as possible. Their materials were balsa wood, wood glue, and paper.
Students were challenged to create a tower that would support a raw egg. The complicating thing is that the tower is going to be shaken like an earthquake is occurring. They used dry noodles, marshmallows, and tape.
Most egg drop challenges your egg needs to survive a drop from whatever height. This one your it was survival, which team’s egg could survive the most times dropped!
Time to stretch the creativity. This challenge the students used only newspaper and tape to build a chair they could sit in.
Using 2-L bottles the students build rockets that will go up and on the way down protect an egg in the nosecone from breaking.
