STEM Day at Lowell
Thursday we had a STEM Day collaboration with Lowell Elementary School. We went over this in Physics class today how it went, because as 15% of my grade my group presented a project to students. It was very similar to science fair type of day. We had different stations students could visit and interact with My group talked about craters and students got to make their own by dropping them into flour sprinkled with coffee grounds (for visual impact). Other groups made ice cream or did the classic egg drop. I had a lot of fun, but was totally exhausted by the end. I was there at 8 am for field experience, this started at 10, my group left me leading the project alone by 11:30 and I did alone for the most part until 1:30, then I worked afterward! It’s crazy that literally everything I do nowadays education-wise is at Lowell! But definitely very helpful now that I only have to drive to one place always. Next semester I’ll be working and doing field there again, so I’m excited for the carpool-type feel again. We have other science fair events happening soon, like one next Wednesday at Myers-Wilkins. Our Education Association is putting that one on and providing pizza for all who attend. There’s so much to do with my major here in Duluth, I love it!
