STEM Family Fun Night brings hands-on learning to PCSS II families

Families of elementary students recently came out for a STEM Family Fun Night, where parents and kids teamed up for an evening of hands-on learning and creativity. The event was all about getting families involved in what students are learning in the classroom in an interactive way. Activities included the following:

• Candy DNA model building
• Binary Code Bracelets
• Marshmallow Catapult engineering challenge
• Snap Circuits
• Bristle Bots
• Robot Race demonstration
• Salt art
• Slime making
• Tangrams and math activities

Events like this are a big part of the school’s effort to spark interest in science and engineering early on, while also strengthening the connection between students and their families.
