K-4 STEM Innovative Learning Lab - Woodstock Elementary School

The Woodstock Elementary School STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) Innovation Lab and Makerspace is an exploratory learning space that strives to infuse the STEM disciplines into the broader curriculum. We have established a science, engineering and design learning lab in its own dedicated space, preparing our students today with the critical thinking, designing, engineering and problem solving skills they need to fill the jobs of tomorrow!

Robotics in K-2 WIN

The STEM Lab recently received a $2000 grant from the VWR Foundation (LINK) for the purchase of a classroom set of LEGO WeDo 2.0 Robotics kits. Since January, students have been using these tools to explore LEGO construction that can incorporate motors, a variety of sensors, and coding. Students are using the school's ipads to run the programs. Second graders had a couple of weeks of robotics classes first to train them to be "teacher leaders" in the K1 WIN enrichment class. It has been going very well, and the students have been enjoying this work.

Thank you VWR Foundation!
