Meeting 2: Discussing basics of block coding
Hello students and parents!
During the meetings in October I will be discussing the basics of coding with the students who have joined the STEM Club. The program I enjoy using the most is scratch.mit.edu which allows students to create a variety of types of projects using block coding.
Meeting 3: OOBLECK!
During this session the students will be creating oobleck, a non-newtonian fluid. This means the liquid does not follow Newton's law decribing viscosity (thickness or resistance to flow). Oobleck behaves like a liquid when a light force is applied to it; however, it will be have like a solid when a heavy force is applied to it.
Grade 5 created, what was supposed to be red, a pink oobleck made of corn starch and water.
Meeting 4: The coding continues
Hello students and parents!
During the meetings in December I will be continuing to discuss the basics of coding with the students who have joined the STEM Club. The program I enjoy using the most is scratch.mit.edu which allows students to create a variety of types of projects using block coding.
Meeting 5: Engineering & Architecture
During this meeting, students made structures out of spaghetti and marshmellows to learn about architecture and engineering.

Meeting 6: Revenge of the Code
This month's meeting involved the students continuing to learn how to code on scratch.mit.edu.
The sixth grade meeting was cancelled because of the snow that occurred the week of February 23, 2026.
Meeting 7: An almagation of ideas
This month, the fifth grade attempted to conduct a chemical reaction with sugar, water, and baking soda. It did not work; however, we were able to discuss the points of error that could occur in an experiment which will better help the students understand the scientific method moving forward.
The sixth grade recreated our first meeting with Pringles.
Meeting 8: The Return of the Code
Both grades will be having a coding class using scratch.mit.edu
