Service Projects
PJH Newsletter
We are currently focused on enhancing the informativeness of our newsletter by incorporating additional writing, greater detail, and a variety of articles. Should you have a concept for an article that you would like to share with us, please feel free to email us at any time. We are consistently seeking improved methods to engage and entertain our audience.
Passion Project
All students continue to engage in a passion project this semester. We establish objectives weekly and utilize our classmates to assess our achievements and provide suggestions for improvement. Additionally, we conduct brief lessons daily on enhancing the engagement and entertainment value of our presentations for the audience.
STEM Challenges
Students will be creating balloon cars. In this project, we will investigate various methods for constructing our cars, create a design sketch of our vehicle, assemble our car, evaluate how we can enhance it, and implement improvements. We will apply all of Newton's laws as we launch our cars, chart our findings, adjust our independent variables, and graph our updated results.
