Way to go Anirudh!
Human Machine Algorithms
This week in Simi Basu’s AP Computer Science Principles class, students took part in the Human Machine Algorithm project. In this activity, students designed an algorithm to find the smallest item in a list. In this case, it was the value of a playing card. Students wrote the algorithm on paper as a clear list of instructions in “pseudocode”. They invented their own systematic way for finding the smallest card on the table. Very impressive!
STEM celebrates National School Counselors Week
Did you know this is National School Counselors Week? It’s a great time to recognize our outstanding team which includes (left to right) Kelli Myrick, Alyssa Woodward, Amy Barker, Alex Nardi and Sheri Langston. Thank you for all that you do for the STEM community!
A field trip to the stars
An out of this world field trip! STEM First Graders visited Fiske Planetarium and had an incredible experience. The students took in a solar system show, experimented in the sound lab with pitches, went on a to-scale solar system walk (which was 1-10 billionth scale trip), participated in a light and laser lab where they broke apart light and so much more!

A STEM themed cake surprise
One of our STEM employees has quite the baking talent! Our staff was pleasantly surprised with this cake spelled out as “STEM”. Two of the cakes went to the Elementary School lounge and the other two went to Secondary. Chocolate, white, yellow and funfetti. Thank you to that staff member for giving everyone a sweet start to the week!
