Welcome to STEM Specials at Bamford!  

We will be spending the year learning perseverance, collaboration, creativity, and problem solving.  Please check the grade-level page links (top right) for pictures of what your child is doing in class, and check down below for supplies we'd LOVE to have donated for future projects!  Thanks so much!

Our first classes were focused on going over the Technology Contract as well as expectations, guidelines, rules, and getting our STEM journals ready.  

Next, we had some design challenges at every grade level, to open our brains up to different ways of solving problems and being: curious, creative, and persevering.

Our current lessons are:

Kinder  - Testing our shade structures, and getting feedback.

First - Making shadow puppets.

Second - Building our ideal bed and choosing materials that are appropriate for their intended use.

Third - Creating an invention that uses magnetism and the force of push or pull (or both!)

Fourth - Create a prosthetic hand and attach it to our own hand to pick up a piece of paper and move it.

Fifth - Designing our own 3D print!
