STEAM Challenges

Grades: 1, 2 & 3

If you are looking for fun, hands-on activities that will allow you to design, build, be artistic and create projects, then this is the class for you. Each week you will be given an activity that incorporates different components of STEAM, and you will work in small groups or partnerships to complete the challenge. I can't wait to see the unique creations that you make in this class!

Busy Botanists: Terrific Terrariums and Plant Exploration

Grades: 1 & 2

Instructor: Mrs. Alison Schreier

Class Size: 8 Students

Explore the power of plants as we design and create a terrarium. We will create a miniaturized version of a natural ecosystem and observe and learn about the interactions between plants, soil and moisture. We will also observe various seeds and plant them to notice the process of germination. Your botanist will take home his/her terrarium and have the option of taking home their plants or saving them at school for our community garden.

LEGO Masters 3, 4 & 5

Grades: 3, 4 & 5

Instructor: Mrs. Jennifer Ciampa

Class size: 12 students

Working in small groups, children will use their imagination and a colorful collection of LEGO® Bricks, LEGO® Technics, specialty pieces, figures, and building plates to build themed creations and make up fun stories about their creations. The LEGO® Technic pieces consist of beams, gear-wheels, and axles and are used to build everything from simple to complex machines. There is an endless amount of fun your child will experience in the Wilson LEGO® class.
