Students at NT elementary were visited by a number of STEM Experts in a variety of fields. Different grade levels have different experiences and projects. We were also joined by Iowa's Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.
On March 11, 2019, community organizations and families joined together at the NAU Walkup Skydome to celebrate STEM with over 100 participating groups providing hands on examples of why Flagstaff, Arizona is America's first STEM City.
These students from Kashmere, North Early College, and Wheatley High Schools worked in cooperative groups to solve a real world problem. Each group of 3 to 4 students posed as an engineering firm that would submit a robotics solution to a geophysics problem. Teams used the LEGO Mindstorm NXT robot to design a vehicle that could climb to the top of a Mountain to retrieve rocks that stored energy. Their vehicle should be able to climb the mountain and continue its motion as the slope of the mountain increased. The team whose robot climbed the highest would win the bid with my company.
