This week, our middle school students celebrated their first S.T.E.A.M. Festival – a 3-day event where students participated in cross-curricular collaborative activities, attended mini-workshops presented by guest experts, completed various design challenges and presented the results of their challenge-based projects through an exhibit.

The middle school students have been working collaboratively with their peers and their community to find ways to:

• To implement a positive solution in the community by advancing, engineering, or creating a solution that addresses water or recyclable waste related problem
• To design a self-sustaining house out of sustainable materials and producing as little waste as possible. 

Please go to our STEAM 2020 Project page to view our students’ projects.

Between design challenges, mini workshops, cross-grade collaborations, and a project exhibition, the Middle School #STEAMFestival was a unique, comprehensive, and impressive celebration of Wesley's incredible #STEAM program!! pic.twitter.com/YaPc52d7CD
