8th Grade- Just finished their Paper Towel holder project. Students used hand tools to craft and assemble their custom project. 

7th Grade- Students are wrapping up their Batman tech project. Students used their basic knowledge of electrical circuitry and made a crime fighting invention that works. 

6th Grade- Students are wrapping on their Dream House project. Using their skills or measurment studnts had to come up with a scale model home that has everything they want and need as if money was not an object.

This month we concluded our study of geography by focusing on its true definition: understanding how humans interact with the Earth's landscape and how this connection shapes agriculture. Students worked in groups to research and present why different biomes are unique and important. We then learned effective research practices that students used to create timelines on agriculture topics of their choice. Finally, we combined everyone's work into a collaborative timeline covering major developments from the Neolithic Revolution to modern AI-driven agricultural technology. 

Compost update: 

20.01 lbs of food waste processed!

This month, all grade levels learned about machine learning and artificial intelligence. Students were part of a very rudimentary demonstration of how a neural network works. They learned about how bias could affect the training, and thus the performance, of machine learning models. Students also created simple machine learning models of their own, that could differentiate between images or poses. Students learned about generative AI with respect to art production, and took an ethical stance on the issue. Grade 6 then worked with Ozobots; Grade 7 used Sketchup to create 3D models of cabins and other buildings; and Grade 8 progressed in learning the fundamentals of the Swift programming language. Most recently, all grade levels learned to program microbits, and use them to capture data on campus. We then mapped the data using ArcGIS, so that we could analyze patterns in trash/graffiti and the presence of feral chickens and cats. Busy month! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
