Our 5th graders are mastering cause and effect! Today they’re building Rube Goldberg machines using ramps, levers, and chain reactions to move energy in creative ways. Brandenburg Cougars Claudia Ruiz Erin O’Connor Irving ISD C&I IISD STEM & Innovation

Our 5th graders took on a Keva challenge today! 🧩 They built Rube Goldberg machines using Keva planks to create amazing chain reactions that transfer energy step by step. Irving ISD C&I Irving ISD Brandenburg Cougars Claudia Ruiz

Our Kinder engineers are Going Buggy! Students learned about insect body parts and designed their own colorful bugs using their Buggy Planning Sheets.

🍬 Our Pre-K engineers built candy containers using LEGO® bricks! 🧱 🏆 The first to hold the most candy won a prize from the treasure chest! Brandenburg Cougars Claudia Ruiz

Our 1st grade engineers are testing their sled designs! One student explained he wants to add boosters so his sled can go even faster! 🛷💨Irving ISD C&I Brandenburg Cougars Erin O’Connor

KINDER STEM: Going Buggy! Our curious kinders explored insect structures, then used the Engineering Design Process to design & build their own bugs!
