In the NextJenn STEM TEAM's first official use of drone technology, rising juniors Destiny Smith and Joe Woods captured some summer workouts with the Jennings Football team while they did a neighborhood Warrior Run, accompanied by the Jennings Marching Band.
The first underwater robots from Jennings School District made their debuts from the NextJenn STEM Team at the Senior High School and from the team at the Junior High. Working together to ensure both teams’ robots could swim, our students repaired circuitry, double-checked equipment, and test-drove the robots all morning. We learned from electronics experts in the Triage Room, taught younger students from area elementary schools how to cut piping, and shared supplies with other teams. In the afternoon, we faced two different obstacle courses, even surviving a malfunctioning propeller. Driver Destiny Smith maneuvered the robot through large rings staged at various depths of the pool and transported small items from one platform to another. Teammate Aaliyah McCrary directed Destiny’s approach as she viewed the robot’s progress from a different vantage point, and team media specialist Joseph Woods captured the races on video. Our students were awarded a special US Navy coin from Admiral Metcalf for participating in the competition.
Please join the Jennings Senior High community for our STEAM DAY on Thursday, March 22nd where the NextJenn STEM TEAM (see below) will be showcasing our projects, our technology, our interactive activities, and most importantly our amazing students.

The BRAVE team participates in an HEC-TV production at Jennings Senior High. When many people think about manufacturing, the first image that may come to mind is of a large factory with workers on an assembly line churning out automobiles, military equipment, or other large-scale products. But the manufacturing process today is much more diverse than that and ever-advancing technology continues to change it. For this program, we explored the “changing face of manufacturing” and highlighted just how the relationship between technology, automation, and the manufacturing process continues to evolve. The conversation occurred during a collaborative product development meeting with student inventors and manufacturing professionals. Program collaborators included Jennings, Missouri School District and World Wide Technology.
Students from Jennings Senior High were among fourteen groups from school districts throughout Missouri who participated in the Missouri School Boards’ Association’s Student Showcase at the Capitol in Jefferson City on 13 February 2018. The students had the opportunity to share information on innovative programs in their school districts with legislators and other state leaders. The event was held in conjunction with MSBA’s annual Legislative Forum: Public Schools Day at the Capitol in Jefferson City. More than 250 school board members and administrators attended the events. “We thank all the students and sponsors for participating in our Student Showcase,” said MSBA Executive Director Melissa Randol. “Every single student, without exception, was phenomenal and left an indelible impression about the quality and value of the education they are receiving in their local school district.” The Missouri School Boards’ Association is a not-for-profit organization that exists to help school boards succeed.
Nine Network Producer Anne-Marie Berger sat down with Jennings School District Superintendent Art McCoy to discuss the factors behind the dramatic turnaround in student performance and graduation rates over the past few years. This interview was filmed in the newly opened NextJenn STEM LAB.
The Boeing team participates in an HEC- TV production at Gary Gore Elementary. From the Wright Brothers successes at Kitty Hawk to the supersonic jets of today, aviation has completely changed the way we live, work and play. View this program archive to learn from engineers, pilots, and other aviation specialists as we investigate the scientific principles, engineering design, and construction processes that make successful flight possible.
Organized as a capstone project for Maryville's STEM Certification by Dr. Tonya Harris and Chris Sellers, the STEM GAMES was a truly unimaginable event that surpassed expectations. The level of engagement was deep and the cooperative learning through engineering design and iterative testing was nothing short of amazing. STEM was a unifying force on this day.
