Students rotated through stations filled with hands-on STEAM activities and got to explore future career paths by learning directly from community professionals! 💡💼

Students are engineering bridges for the Billy Goats Gruff, designing baskets for Little Red Riding Hood and more, all thanks to the Chesapeake Public Schools Education Foundation grant! #FairyTaleSTEM #LibraryFun #SWEBruins #CPSInspires
🚨 Kindergarten STEAM Alert! 🌍✨ Students used the 3D printer, Scratch Jr, and Ozobots to learn about Maps & Globes and to create their own! Geography has never been this fun!! 🌟 #STEAM #coding #SWEBruins #CPSInspires
