🏅 STEM Olympics Ski Jump Event – What a Week! 🏅 Our STEM Olympics are officially underway, and the competition is heating up! Across the school, classes and grades have been proudly representing 10 different countries as they compete in exciting STEM challenges. A recent event was the Ski Jump! ⛷️ Students used only a straw and their breath power to launch their ski jumpers as far as possible. Each teammate contributed their distance, and we combined the results to create a total score for their country. It was incredible to see the teamwork, strategy, and determination from every group! A huge congratulations to this week’s 🥇 Gold Medal Winners! We are so proud of all our student athletes and engineers. Their creativity, perseverance, and team spirit truly embody what STEM and the Olympics are all about. We can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s event! #STEM #STEMOlympics #ElementarySTEM #KingElementary #STEMinAction #FutureEngineers #HandsOnLearning #StudentSuccess #Teamwork #STEMFun

🏰 Medieval Technology in STEM! ⚙️ In STEM this term, students are exploring how technology has changed throughout history. This week, we took a pit stop in the Middle Ages to learn how levers, pulleys, and castles were powerful forms of technology! 💥 Kinder & 1st Grade Students learned about the parts of a castle that make it strong, then built their own castles using blocks to see if they could withstand Mrs. Riley’s Styrofoam cannonball! ✏️ 2nd & 3rd Grade Students explored communication technology by writing silly messages with “quill and ink,” which were proudly read aloud by the town crier for the class to enjoy! 📜📣 🏹 Grades 4–6 Students learned about levers by designing and building catapults, launching tin-foil cannonballs to knock down towers like true medieval engineers! It was an exciting, hands-on week of creativity, problem-solving, and fun while exploring medieval technology! #STEM #STEMEducation #KingElementary #KingElementarySTEM #ElementarySTEM #HandsOnLearning #FutureEngineers #HistoryMeetsSTEM 🏰⚙️
