🤖STEM IN ACTION🤖
On Friday, J.D. Parker Elementary School fourth graders turned curiosity into creation during a hands-on STEM field experience. As the School of STEAM and Aerospace, this experience fit right in—students built robots, explored the basics of coding, learned about engineering pathways, and got a glimpse of how they could one day join the award-winning FRC 180 S.P.A.M. Robotics team!
An enlightening and fun field trip during CTE month! This is the advantage of enrolling in our A-rated District—learning that goes beyond the classroom, real-world experiences, and opportunities that help students discover what they're capable of. Enroll today: https://bit.ly/3Z1Ny6E
