First day back in the Centre for Advanced Research and Engineering and a group if students are setting the lab up for maximum efficiency. Interesting conversations and ideas going back and forth.

Organizing the lab, planning a Tech-Know-Kids coding program, and beginning projects in the Centre for Advanced Research and Engineering. The #STEM fun has already begun!

First build session of the new school year, crafting machines that apply a force to do work. Great focus, effort and creativity by all students in class. Everyone worked safely, neatly, and collaboratively! #STEM #tools #woodworking #handsonlearning #funlearning #collaborative

I wonder what my elementary teachers would have thought way back when we had one Commodore 64 in the whole school, if I told them I would eventually be teaching Grade 3s virtually? Getting everything set up for Monday, now that I know what I am teaching! #Onlineclass

Now in my 2nd full school year online, but a new #STEM extracurricular club begins to blossom Huntington Ridge PS . Feels good to get back to in-person clubs. With Tech-Know-Kids retired after 8 years, where will this new adventure lead? Peel District School Board #extracurricular #Lego #fun

Our first running #electriccar. Also, our first crash. Huntington Ridge PS #lego #fun #STEMeducation #structures #gears #battery #electric

Creativity and teamwork are flourishing in our burgeoning club. This LEGO town comes complete with a monorail! Can't wait until all of the track is laid. Huntington Ridge PS #STEM #LEGO #Teamwork #creativity #makerspace #monorail

The "Imaginarium of LEGO Inventioneers" Huntington Ridge PS, is trying this: Today, Grade 5s began an amusement park that tomorrow the Grade 4s will continue, the Grade 3s adding on Thursday, Grade 2s Friday, the 1s on Monday. Can't wait to see the final product! #LEGO #collaborate

Day 2 of our collaborative LEGO amusement park saw the Grade 4s add to and extend the Grade 5 work from Tuesday. We now have a robot factory in our amusement park, among other changes! Today we will welcome Grade 3s. Huntington Ridge PS Mrs. Kirkby #LEGO #collaboration #fun #STEM

Day 3 with Gr3! New areas, lots of changes, and even a little difficulty buying into the concept! The rollercoaster is now part house of horrors, a space station has been added to our amusement park, and lots of fun was had. Gr2 adds on tomorrow. Huntington Ridge PS Mrs. Kirkby

We are getting so close to finished! Here is some of the work that took place with the Grade 2s on Friday. Today the Grade 1s are here to finish the amusement park off! I have been so impressed by the Huntington Ridge PS #collaboration!

Final lunch period at the Imaginarium of LEGO Inventioneers and it is our Huntington Ridge PS Grade 1s finishing the #collaborative STEM Amusement Park. What a creative, interesting experience it has been having a different grade each day work on the same task!

Here it is, a special sneek preview of tomorrow's grand unveiling of the week long, all grades collaboration of the Huntington Ridge PS Amusement Park! #LEGO #STEM #Collaborative #wholeschool #goodtimes #creative

Another great day Huntington Ridge PS as the Grade 5s tackled gravity racing. Reducing friction, looking to balance mass and structural rigidity, these blossoming engineers came up with race winning designs. #STEM #engineering #Peel21st #LEGO #racing Mrs. Kirkby

So nice to have the amazing, tireless Mrs Bissonnette helping to coach in the Imaginarium of LEGO Inventioneers today. Our Grade 4s created fast, capable racers and had a great time!

I must do better keeping the updates going! Grades 1 and 2 have already come in to start our castle build! Lots of enthusiasm and creativity on display. Mrs. Kirkby Huntington Ridge PS Peel District School Board #peel21st #collaboration #STEM #LEGO

So much has been going on in the Imaginarium and I am far behind in sharing it all. Our Grades 1-5s have been earning their Master Builder qualifications with an assortment of cars, robots, castles and so much more! Huntington Ridge PS #LEGO #STEM #ExtraCurricular #fun

Love this #STEM article. Reminds me of so many talented girls I have been fortunate to work with. Girl Power: Send your carburetor to Riley's Rebuilds, the teenage tuners hagerty.com/media/people/g… via Hagerty

1st STEM challenge has our Grade 5s and 6s designing, building, testing and analysing pneumatic rockets to see who can make a rocket that will travel 10 metres. We just hit 6m in the 2nd day of testing! #STEM #design #build #analyse #learn #mathematics Kenollie P.S.
