On the STEM Bus, students got to experience:
✨ Virtual Reality
✨ VR Welding
✨ 3D Pens & 3D Printing

✨ And so much more!

Students explored how contaminants make their way into our drinking water, using hands-on models to better understand how pollution can travel underground and impact water sources. From there, they took on the challenge of designing and building their own water filtration systems.
After testing ideas, troubleshooting, and making improvements, each group put their final filters to the test in a class competition. The creativity, problem-solving, and perseverance on display were incredible!
Proud of these students for thinking like scientists and engineers while tackling real-world problems 👏
