My Project

Our students need to be creators of the world they live in. We must take hold of essential principles and become empowered through rigorous exploration, construction and enhancement of these ideas.

Students will learn and apply the principles of aerodynamics to construct and fly RC airplanes and balsa wood gliders, explore wireless communication and electronic circuitry as they build walkie talkies and FM radios.

They will practice sustainable resilient and environmentally friendly agricultural practice through the study of aquaponics.

My students, through collaboration, inquiry and scientific practice, will develop a STEM mindset that will empower them in any academic pursuit.
