Hands-On Learning At Bull STEAM Ahead
Students checked out 3D printing technology, made their own math origami, worked with circuits, and videoed themselves on green screens.
From Smithtown Central School District: Showing off the many interactive, hands-on learning experiences available throughout the district, the Maker Space Club from Smithtown High School East invited students and their families to Bull STEAM Ahead evening on April 20. Maker Space activities – with topics covering science, technology, engineering, art and math – were offered for students to experience. They checked out 3-D printing technology, made their own math origami, worked with circuits, videoed themselves on a green screen and used virtual reality glasses.
Technologies of the past also made an appearance, and some students had fun learning to use a typewriter. STEM professionals from local businesses were on hand to answer questions, and the Mechanical Bulls robotics team set up outside the cafeteria to showcase their creations. Admission was free with a nonperishable food donation, which the Maker Space Club will collect for a local food pantry.
