From Amity Middle School: Students at Amity Middle School in Bethany will be getting a taste of what engineers do in the real world to bring products to market. Amity parent, Nancy Held-Sheehe, a Deputy Chief Engineer at a local aerospace company, along with a team of professionals who work in the manufacturing industry will be running a unique and exciting hands-on engineering activity for 64 students at Amity Middle School in Bethany on May 3 8-11:00 a.m.
This special event will include 7th and 8th grade students who have demonstrated effort and interest in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). During the event kick-off a challenge will be unveiled, and students working in teams of eight will have a little less than two hours to work through the engineering design process to create and ultimately test their solutions.
