STEAM Night

Last week Woodlawn celebrated it's first year as a STEAM-focused school.  Around 300 students, families, and community members attended the evening STEAM event which included tinkering stations by the Studio-2-Schools program, music performances by the Right Brain Initiative, and robotics demonstration by two First Tech Challenge teams, including the world champion team Hot Wired.  In addition, each grade offered the families an engineering challenge to complete that evening including 'What is the best design for a straw rocket?', 'Can you create a circuit to power a music box?', 'What is the best way to design a truss bridge?' 

I want to send out a thank you to all who helped make our first STEAM Night a success - Woodlawn staff, Blueprint Foundation, Children's Museum, Viking Mars Missions Education and Preservation Project, Studio-2-Schools program, Batteries in Black Robotics Team, US Fish and Wildlife Services, Hot Wired Robotics Team, Right Brain Initiative, First Lego League, and EG Robotics. And a final BIG thank you to the wonderful Woodlawn community, your support and enthusiasm is amazing!
