🧠✨ Design. Build. Test. Succeed! ✨🧠
Mrs. Breceda’s STEM students recently put their engineering skills to the test with a hands-on design challenge! Using only two sheets of white paper and 12 inches of tape, students were tasked with building the tallest free-standing tower—and it had to stand on its own for at least 10 seconds. 😮
Using the STEM Design Process, students brainstormed, tested, and improved their ideas with creativity and teamwork. The tallest tower reached an amazing 39.5 inches high! 📏🏗️
We’re so proud of our STEM Stars for their problem-solving, perseverance, and innovation. Way to rise to the challenge! 🌟
