Students also contributed STEAM projects to showcase in International Culture Day at OWNCS 2. These projects motivated students to gain deeper knowledge and understanding of their culture through unique representation wtih innovative design. Many students showed excitement in sharing their culture with their peers, this contributed to the collective team effort when creating the projects.

The Kindergarten and First Grade classes created pop-up maps that could guide a bear through the forest to his home. The pop-up elements were things that both the students and bear see in the forest; grass, trees, bear's house, etc.
Grades 2-3
Grades 2-3
Second and Third Grade made aluminum boats that they tested in a container of water. Students researched the kind of boat they wanted to build and tested it's strength and ability to float.
Grades 4-5
Grades 4-5
Grades Four and Five designed free-standing bridge structures using paper, cardboard, aluminum foil, and pipe cleaners. Students researched the types of bridges they could build, and tested the strength of their bridges with different classroom materials.
