Innovation in Action

Students are becoming inventors, artists and creators as part of their learning in the “How to Make Almost Anything” course at Spring Lake Park High School (SLPHS). 

As part of a STEM challenge, Westwood fifth grade Spanish Immersion students used the SLP 3D Design process (Discover, Design and Deliver) to construct a boat able to float in water and carry weight.

Using the new STEM makerspace area, Westwood Intermediate and Middle School students had the opportunity to build CO₂ cars from scratch.

Westwood fifth and sixth grade students delivered Shark Tank presentations after using the SLP 3D Design Process (Discover, Design, Deliver) to solve a problem or provide a new product that serves a need for themselves or society.

Over the past three days, Centerview Elementary hosted STEM Design Days. For two and a half hours, grade levels had the opportunity to learn about the SLP 3D Design Process: Discover, Design and Deliver, and used it to create Rube Goldberg machines.

Northpoint Elementary School third grade students have been learning about budgeting and this week, they participated in Market Days where they created and sold homemade products to their classmates.
