Students in the 2022 STEAM Academy program created some pretty impressive popsicle brides. This was so well done that Minister of Education Diallo Lavaine was walking on it.
“I enjoyed the challenge of walking the Popsicle Bridge built by the 2022 STEAM Academy Program students. said Minister Raven.
Between July 4th and 27th, students aged 9-14 attended the 2022 STEAM Academy.
2022 STEAM Academy Lead Teacher Neville Zuill said: The teacher was also able to test ideas and initiatives designed for use in his STEM and Trades Signature Learning Program pathways at CedarBridge Academy, which will begin in September 2022. ”
“This year we focused on developing student skills related to STEM and trade professions. Skills such as carpentry, digital electronics, soldering, concrete and masonry, 3D modeling and printing, and practical mathematics. .
“Students designed popsicle stick bridges, bluebird boxes, wooden chairs, remote control tanks, concrete pizza ovens, solar race cars, soldered microchips, 3D printed game pieces, and more. , worked on mathematical fractions and practical projects.”
Zuill adds: Students were tasked with designing a bridge over a creek between Delwood Middle School and Berners Park. It also had to be able to support the weight of an adult walking on top.
“The Minister of Education successfully crossed the bridge, proving that the bridge was indeed a success.
“The rationale behind the bridge project was to explain to students the importance of everyone playing their part faithfully and accurately.”
Minister Ravain concludes: I really enjoyed seeing them in action. They proudly demonstrated the accuracy of their projects and expressed their delight in learning. ”
“Special thanks to Dr. Llewellyn Simmons, Academic Director, Department of Education Team; Neville Zuill, STEAM Academy Lead Teacher; Dr. John Madillo, Math Teacher; Mr. Steven Doyling, Primary STEM Teacher; and electronics teacher, and Ms. Leroyce Mills, Behavior and Learning Support.
