What does authentic learning look like? When the Woodshop class helps the city of Glendale by using the bandsaw to cut a massive 16', 6"×6" piece of wood on the diagonal. It took 6 people; check out that assembly line! #teamwork #servicelearning

Congrats to both Kirkwood High School teams that competed today at the Project Lead The Way @STLPLTW Engineering Challenge. The students came away with a 1st Place in Teamwork and Presentation and a 3rd Place Overall finish. KHS Engineering

KHS had a great showing by our two teams at the STL PLTW competition today. One of our teams earned 1st place in teamwork, 1st place in documentation/presentation, and 3rd place overall! Project Lead The Way @STLPLTW

Congratulations to representatives from the Environmental Sustainability class for earning 1st place in the @USGBCMoGateway Green Schools Quest!

TBT the amazing work showcased by our #EDD students this year.

Could you design a water filter to survive an emergency situation? #ES students are on the right track. Project Lead The Way @STLPLTW

POE air boats at work. Check out that wake! @STLPLTW Project Lead The Way

These air boats need strong engineering of the electrical system and boat hull design to work well. Project Lead The Way @STLPLTW

One more! 😊

Thanks EarthWays Center & MSD Project Clear for lending us these great EnviroScape models to help @STLPLTW Project Lead The Way Environmental Sustainability students learn how contaminants affect our watershed & how water is treated and distributed. So lucky to have MO Botanical Garden in our town!

Environmental Sustainability students had great success testing their creative prototypes for remediating oil spills. @STLPLTW Project Lead The Way

Very proud of Kirkwood DECA students this year 👏 👏👏 11 Students Missouri DECA ALL STATE 4 State Champions 🏆 2 Top test scores 9 State Finalists We had a great trip, enjoyed some KC BBQ, and brought home a little hardware.

As a prototype for a materials sorter at a recycling plant, #POE students designed a fully automated machine to sort 3 different types of marbles in under 2 minutes. Here is one of the groups that nailed it! Project Lead The Way @STLPLTW Kirkwood School Dist

Way to go! #pioneerpride

We are so proud of all our budding engineers and scientists. We can't wait to see you in a few years. #pioneerpride #Steamfest Kirkwood School Dist

Today two teams represented Kirkwood High School at the @STLPLTW engineering competition at STLCC-Florissant Valley . 19 teams competed in the "Shake it Up" challenge creating a structure to sustain earthquake type movement. One KHS Pioneers teams won first place for presentation!

Hooray to the KHS Pioneers Environmental Sustainability class for winning a spotlight award for addressing the theme of the year, Biodiversity.
