Today is the Terril Elementary STEM Festival! Our GT Elementary (with friends from RA) are learning about different careers and discoveries in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Demonstrations and hands-on activities range from “Arm pit fudge”, bio diesel, foods, engines, DNR to EPS building systems and Fairchild Welding. And we still haven’t named them all! The staff did an awesome job organizing.
Chemistry students explored the principles of stoichiometry by performing a synthesis reaction with S'mores!
