Mission Possible!

In our world we have so much pollution in the air that storms are getting stronger, ocean levels are rising and glaciers at the poles are melting! Amazingly, a mineral that can be made into solar panels has been discovered on Mars. These solar panels will help provide enough energy from the sun. The students will design a shelter to withstand the environment. They will also create a Sphero-powered rocket that can travel to Mars and communicate with Earth!

Tackling Trout and Technology

We will actively involve participants by having students lead learners through hands-on activities based around Trout in the Classroom. Students at our school have raised rainbow trout from eggs (received from our local fish hatchery) into fry. Students from multiple grade levels will share how they have used Spheros, Ozobots, Lego Robots, Tinkercad, and more to tackle trout and technology. We will also share how other schools in NC can partner with the free trout in the classroom program.
