We are so excited about being an Amazon Future Engineer partnership district. The amazing Heather (Heather Cunningham, EdD) and the BootUp team is actively training us to teach computer science as early as kindergarten. Engaging & Empowering young learners. Stay tuned. #STEMinDouglas

Eureka! 5th graders at Holly Springs Elem. capped off their earth systems unit with model volcanoes - complete with eruptions. Look out for hot lava! #STEMinDouglas Tanish Springer, Ed.S.

Annette Winn 3rd graders are transformed into Georgia peanut farmers! They have limited supplies to create wind barriers in order to protect the precious, nutrient-rich top soil layer! Wind tests up next. Go wildcats! #AWES #STEMinDouglas

Beulah 4th graders rocking this architecture & engineering challenge - designing and building bridges out of paper, tape, sticks and glue. Bridges had to hold an 8 oz water bottle for 10 secs. Inspired by the book: Iggy Peck - Architect. #STEMinDouglas #STEMandLiteracy

STEAM Challenge 1: Floating Foil Boats. We put our critical thinking skills into action! We had to think about the impact of weight on the buoyancy of boats as we designed a boat to hold the most glass marbles! Winners announced on Monday!

STEM is built on engagement & inquiry. 2nd graders in Mrs. Anthony’s class at Mason Creek Elementary harnessed the power of both during their “Dancing Raisin” experiment. #MAES #STEMinDouglas #STEMitUp

If STEM was peanut butter, hands on learning would be the jelly. #STEMinDouglas
