2nd Quarter STEM club wrap up!
This session, students designed their own creations in Tinkercad and brought them to life on the 3D printers, learned how the printers work, created custom T-shirt designs in Canva, and used the Cricut to cut and press vinyl for their shirt. On the final day, they even got a little hands-on time with a virtual reality headset and a 360° camera to capture the celebration.
Watching students’ confidence grow, seeing their ideas flourish, and hearing their excitement as they tried something new has been the best part. Miss Millet is so proud of this group! 💡✨

The efforts and contributions of many African American educators and community leaders have helped Erie's Public Schools to become the district it is today. Thank you to all of the amazing individuals who help us continue #buildingexcellencetogether! We are especially grateful for our superintendent, Dr. Natalyn Gibbs, who is dedicated to bringing the community together and supporting our students and their families.

This month our students are learning about the important African American figures throughout history. You can stay up to date on what they are doing each week to celebrate Black History Month by visiting our website: https://www.eriesd.org/blackhistory.
