Fallon Students Present at STEAM Tank Regionals
4th grade GATES students from James Fallon Elementary School enjoyed an opportunity to experience what it is like to be an inventor. They entered their original idea in this year’s STEAM Tank Competition, which is a competition that encourages students to use science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math skills. The competition was created and sponsored by the New Jersey School Board Association and U.S. Army. The James Falllon Elementary students were selected from 15 teams to participate in the Regional Competition held at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark on April 14th. The students presented their idea for a “Cool Touch Plate” to a panel of judges including entrepreneurs, business leaders, and education leaders. Congratulations on a job well done to Max Carter, Evan Lim, Madeline MacDonald, and Dev Patel. A special thank you also goes out to Jaden Guzman for his help with the presentation.
