Both Bethania and Ngaraard Elementary participated in the STEM Fair. That’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics … STEM. The displays looked GREAT at the fair, but it was a little bit hard to tell how much of the “STEM” they actually understood. Knowing their English abilities very well, we’re guessing that most of the material was copied and pasted. Plus, they had a pretty hard time answering the judges’ questions. Now that we’ve watched one of these STEM fairs happen, maybe next year we can be a little more helpful, so the students get more out of it. Particularly at Bethania -- an all girls school -- we're really looking forward to next year's STEM fair, where we can help girls heart science more.
Getting ready!!!
Making a DNA model.
A "Tech" display by one of my top students: "How to troubleshoot personal computer?"
A "Math" display, explaining how to win the "Tower of Hanoi" math game.
The sophomores participate by creating a model of a human lung.
The juniors participate by growing stalactites and stalagmites.
Sarah (from Korea) and Morisong (from Palau) confirm that GIRLS <3 SCIENCE!!!
