Check out the newest episode of STEM at Home with Mr. Bell where we take on a new challenge.

If your K-8 student is out of school for COVID-19, I have created a page of resources for your keep them learning at home. The activities include math, reading, science, art, and STEAM. Some of the activities require a parent/adult setting up an account. Others require a teacher account setup first, which I have already taken care of. I will be adding more material over the coming days and weeks.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know in the comments section or through one of my social media platforms. Stay healthy and keep your chins up. We are experiencing a time and situation like never before, but together we will come through stronger. Keep looking out for each other.

 

-Mr. Bell

Students today are preparing for jobs that have yet to even be created. This makes education and preparation challenging, but in my STEAM class, we are learning skills and solving problems to prepare our students for the world to come.

A LEGO Robotics team provides the engaging, hands-on experiences students need to explore core STEM concepts and link them to real-life phenomena.

Having this opportunity for my students will give them experiences in coding, engineering, as well as in teamwork, problem-solving, collaboration and communication skills, self confidence, and a sense of belonging. This would be our school’s first robotics team and would be an open door to many opportunities for students.
