Expanding Problem Solving Skills with Robotics

Many students stretched their thinking by participating in the summer robotics class. Using the EV3 platform, students built and programmed their machines. Click on the picture to check out the video of class highlights.

Thanks to the GT Consortium of Northeast Wisconsin, fourth-grade students from elementary schools in HSSD and other districts came together in February for a day of STEAM Innovation. Students designed their own trains after learning about aerodynamics, the Doppler Effect, force and motion, and how color makes a difference for safety. It was fun to see how well their trains stood up to the "bowling ball test". Watch the video to learn more!

In partnership with St. Norbert College and the Foreign Policy Association, The Gifted and Talented Consortium of CESA 7 offered 8th grade students the opportunity to participate in the Great Decisions Program. Students engage in high level reading and discussion about a variety of current event topics while meeting with experts in the field.
