During STEM lessons this week, Year 6 startedย their new project by attempting an Escape Room designed by Mr Murphy. They were close to escaping in the time limit and worked well as a team! Year 6 will be designing their own Escape Rooms over this term. #KPSSTEM#KPSinspire
Smearing beeswax, waterproof testing, catapulting hovercraft and designing shoes for dinosaurs...it can only be a couple of days at @SSERCprimary ๐๐๐ thanks for a brilliant couple of days at the @pstt_whyhow Sustain & Extend programme #STEM leadership course #ercstem#kpsstem
We are excited to announce that we were awarded the 2019 AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award! This distinction honors schools that encourage female participation in the computer science field. #KPSSTEM#STEM#APComputerScience#WomeninSTEM
#EngineersWeek was extended to include the Kindergartners in a "sweet" activity on Thursday! Students were tasked to use the engineering design process to brainstorm boat designs out of aluminum foil that would hold as many candies as possible! #kpsstem#girlsinstem
#EngineersWeek continued on Tuesday with an #engineering activity during lunch in all divisions! Students created devices to see how long they could prevent ice from melting! #girlsinstem#kpsstem
The Primary School participated in its first robotics season this year! Two teams of five girls competed in the Wonder League Robotics Competition. BOTH teams qualified for the Invitational Round in March! Only 460 teams (out of 7000 ) qualified! #kpsstem#girlswhocode
Middle Schoolers were treated to a visit from @amazon engineers during their #HourofCode. Students coded a dance party using block programming, they drew a Landscape using basic Python coding language, and some created customized blueprints to work with Amazon Alexa! #kpsstem
Congratulations to the Upper School #robotics team! The 10300 Robo-Dragons won the Motivate Award for respect and team spirit at their first FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) competition earlier this month! Way to go! Their next competition is on December 10! #kpsstem@FIRSTweets
Who says only trick-or-treaters get all the candy? These fifth-grade students "coded for candy" in technology class! The candy was hidden under Halloween objects! #kpsstem#coding#girlswhocode
It's #EngineersWeek at Kent Place! To celebrate, we have many engineering activities across all divisions! On Tuesday, we welcomed astronaut Terry Hart to campus to speak with students about his experiences with NASA and his career as an engineer. #kpsengineersweek#kpsstem#STEM
The MS STEM elective held a catapult competition in the STEM lab. Students designed and built catapults in groups, then had a competition to see whose catapult could launch the most pennies into various containers of different sizes! #kpsstem
Could you build a structure to withstand the weight of a golf ball for two minutes? Second graders tried to do just that in science class! Take a look at their building progress in action! #kpsstem#stem#engineering
