STEM - a Flex Day Workshop
Eunsol Lee and Hanbyeol Jung have been leading the STEM Workshop during Flex Day Cycle 3 with 6th to 11th graders. During this cycle students engaged in learning how to teach science concepts through experiments. After preparing themselves for all this 3rd Flex Day Cycle on teaching elasticity, pH and non Newtonian fluids, students had the opportunity to visit 15 de Septiembre School in Los Ladinos this last wednesday. In this visit they taught 4th graders these important science concepts through easy and practical experiments.
AASCA Robotics
We have dived into the world of robotics and put in place our comprehensive Robotics Program that starts from Pathways to our Secondary School. We're dedicated to integrating robotics to elevate students' learning journeys. Our goal is to nurture technology skills and minds, foster teamwork and ignite critical thinking skills along the way.
We are thrilled that this year, three of our tigers will be showcasing our program at the very first edition of AASCA Robotics in Guatemala on February 28th. This marks a milestone at ANS, as we will engage with other schools' robotics programs in the region.
Let us present to you our Robotics Team members for AASCA Robotics this year:
Hanbyeol Jung (10th Grade)
Guillermo Padilla (7th Grade)
Alex Valle (8th Grade)
Daniel Gutiérrez (Coach)
Join us in celebrating this milestone!
