Why STEAM?

I really enjoy science. We did a lab using bromothymol blue. We blew through a straw, and it showed that we have carbon dioxide in our breath. Then we wrote down our data on the data tables.

At Glastonbury Public Schools my STEAM classes are preparing me for my future. I’m planning on being an engineer, maybe mechanical or aerospace.

Right now we're building with LEGOs, and we're looking for little pieces, so it helps me focus.  Even though it gets hard, you should keep going because it's fun once you complete it.

I like how we get to do a lot of fun stuff. We get to build things. I got to build a big plane and bring it home, and it had a rainbow on it. I like planes. I haven’t traveled in a plane alot.

I really enjoy the hands-on experiences in my science classes because they allow me to be creative and express myself as I’m learning.

We do lots of stuff that makes you smart. In science, you learn about rocks, like I did for my STEAM Night project. We sorted them - quartz, red rocks, angular rocks with sharp corners, and rounded rocks with not smooth sides.  I learned new words, and a lot of other things.
