STEM students will soon be able to receive Snap-on multimeter certification
Friday afternoon in Mr. Shallenberger’s engineering class, STEM Secondary students had the exciting task of unpacking a new Snap-on tool kit which will allow for STEM students to receive a Snap-on multimeter certification.
STEM's big moment at Coors Field
Here was STEM’s shining moment at Coors Field. This is when STEM’s First Pitch team was brought out to the mound with their robot to throw out the first pitch of the Rockies vs. Nationals game. Dinger was a little bit too far back behind home plate, otherwise he would have caught the perfect strike without any trouble. What a throw from the robot and what an epic moment in STEM’s history and Colorado history!

STEM’s First Pitch and Egg Drop teams had an incredible time at Coors Field on May 5th for Rockies STEM Day. The event was a huge success for STEM and provided for one of the greatest and most shining moments in the school’s history when the First Pitch team was picked to make history. The students won a competition against Mountain Vista High School for who built the best robot to toss out a historic first pitch at Coors Field.
Classroom science guru and entertainer Steve Spangler was the host of the event at the field and showed off numerous explosive experiments for the audience.
The STEM design looked just like the Rockies mascot, Dinger, and used a catapult mechanism to throw the ball to the catcher. When it came time for the first pitch, the robot threw a perfect strike right over home plate! Never before in Rockies history has a non-human thrown a first pitch, until now!
STEM’s Egg Drop team also had a shining moment when they were able to compete in a competition of dropping an egg using a drone from over 100 feet in the air. They built a solid contraption to protect the egg, but in the end it cracked upon impact. It was still a big crowd pleaser moment. Look for a video of that soon!
Congratulations to the STEM Spartans and Staff who helped make history at Coors Field. What a day!
STEM’s First Pitch team: Brent Weiffenbach (Team Captain), Gabe Paladino, Donald Paladino, Tyler Paulter, Joe DiGrappa, Ian Boraks, Anthony Sagrati, Micah Thomas, Maya Fitzgibbons and Aiden Frey.

STEM students create behind the scenes video about First Pitch robot design for Colorado Rockies
Want to know how STEM’s First Pitch robot design team made history happen? Well, it started several weeks ago with our talented students coming up with a concept for a robot that could throw out the first pitch at a major league game. The road to getting there wasn’t easy and there were plenty of obstacles. Check out this student created video presentation that shows the behind the scenes action of robot design for Colorado Rockies history!

STEM Secondary students get a history lesson about steam powered engines
Learning from the past can tell us a lot about the future! Check out this moment in Mr. Shallenberger’s engineering class this week where students had a chance to experiment with a miniature steam engine. It is a simple lesson about heat creating energy and it is also a look back in time when most of the country was steam powered.
