A huge thank you to Michael, @ygkcommuter, for his final visit! Our class had a blast with the "Maze Runner" design challenge. Students designed and programmed Dash robots to navigate custom mazes with starts, finishes, tricky turns, and obstacles. 🦾✨ @EIRProgram

Finishing off CEW with Mr.Trevor our @engoftom resident! Today we learned about different forms of energy and explored various materials to see if they act as conductor or insulators with simple circuits. @StElizabethOCSB #ocsbbecommunity

🚗💥 From designing and building crash barriers to testing force on impact, our students engineered their way into this challenge. Michael's ingenuity even led him to create a contraption to measure crash forces in real-time! Thank you again, Michael @ygkcommuter! @EIRProgram

It’s a work in progress but my grade 7 students are designing a future city with climate change considerations, and creating their structures on TinkerCAD to print them in 3D! @TCDSB @TCDSB_Peterson @21C_TCDSB @engoftom

Thanks to Michael @ygkcommuter, we tackled our design challenge: crafting the tallest earthquake-proof structure! Armed with marshmallows, spaghetti, & tape, our budding engineers got creative. With the help of a shaker table & ruler, we put our designs to the test. @EIRProgram

🧀🥛Thanks to Michael, our engineering partner, we learned about states of matter which led to our STEM project - making cheese! From curds to whey, we saw it all. Huge thanks to @reidsdairyco for donating milk. Can't wait to taste it tomorrow! @ygkcommuter
@EIRProgram 😋
