St. Anne’s Episcopal School’s Lower School Family STEM Night drew a crowd of over 100 students and parents who were eager to work on a STEM challenge together.
Edward and Anna Greene of Middletown worked with Anna’s grandmother, Joyce Francisco of Elkton, MD, to design their bridge at St. Anne’s Episcopal School’s Family STEM Night.
The goal of the Lower School Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) program at St. Anne’s is to allow students to direct their own learning experience, to engage and learn in a new way, and to be creative and problem solve. Students learned that there were many solutions to the challenge of building a bridge to “Get the Three Billy Goats Gruff to the greener grass.”
