This year students in Miss Kelly Maduri's honors chemistry classes, Mrs. Ashley Kelm's engineering class, and Mrs. Marcia Pecek's Honors Algebra 2/Trigonometry classes will collaborate to participate in the Northeast Ohio Innovates STEM commercialization program and competition
Students from the three different courses will regularly come together to work in
groups to identify, research, and design possible solutions to
real-world problems. This week they kicked off their studies with three
labs to learn about different materials they may incorporate into their
design solutions.
Inspiration for this new STEM initiative came from a professional learning session
Mrs. Pecek attended at the annual meeting of the National Council of
Mathematics in Washington, DC, last April.
