GEMS (GIRLS) M/W (Barton) Gr. 4-5 only
Have fun twice a week doing hands-on Robotics and STEM projects! Both groups will work October-January on building Lego Robots and programming their robots with code to complete missions around themes based on development in the communities we live in. In January, we'll compete with other 4/5 students around the district to show our robotics missions, plus our teamwork together. After that, we'll start learning about rocketry by building straw rockets, stomp rockets, water rockets, and eventually solid fuel rockets that we'll launch on a rocket pad in a competition with other schools at our Spring Exhibition. GEMS/GISE students will also have opportunities to participate in other weekend STEM events throughout the year like the fall Girls Science and Technology event at the Science Museum, the Spring STEAM Expo at Olson Middle School, and the SWE Conference (Society for Women Engineers) at the Dunwoody Technology School.Waitlist -
