Middle School STEAM Highlights
Our middle school students have been doing amazing work in STEAM!
6th Grade
Students worked in teams to design and build motorized snow plow trucks using SAM Labs. Their goal was to collect as many cotton balls as possible during a timed run while following strict design constraints. Using the engineering design process, students tested, refined, and improved their designs while navigating classroom blockades.
7th Grade
Students are bringing their stories to life through stop‑motion animation. From clay‑molded sandwiches and construction‑paper scenes to frame‑by‑frame animation with action figures, each project highlights creativity, patience, and imagination. We can't wait to see the final products!
Summer Rising 2026
