Robot Hill Climb competition at STEM
Just another day in class at STEM, with a robot hill climb! The students in Mr. Reinkensmeyer’s engineering class always have a great time, especially when it comes time for challenges like this one. Getting the robot up the ramp is one thing, but keeping it straight without falling off is another!
STEM 5th grade student and author Ashmi Sengupta talks about publishing her first book, 'Rita and the Range'
STEM 5th grade student and author Ashmi Sengupta spoke to STEM Elementary students this week about publishing her first book, ‘Rita and the Range’. Ashmi spent one year writing the book and doing all of the illustrations. The book can be found on Amazon and highlights some of the stresses that children face today while learning of the importance of home. After visiting the classrooms, we spoke one-on-one with Ashmi about the book, the plot, how she got her book published and what her plans are for the future. Congratulations Ashmi!
