Brrr, it’s chilly outside, but the students at East warmed up their brains with some cool STEM challenges in the Makerspace! 2nd graders put their creative minds to work building sleds for penguins, designing the perfect ride for our feathered friends. Meanwhile, 3rd and 4th graders competed in a frosty showdown to see who could scoop the most “snow” with their custom-built snow shovels. Even the cold can't stop these young engineers from having a blast while learning through hands-on fun.
